HOT: High Tea at Lobby Lounge, The Westin, 205 Collins St, Melbourne
I can think of no better way to spend a cold, rainy afternoon than in front of an open fireplace drinking tea. Better still, drinking tea, eating cakes and lounging around reading an Evelyn Waugh novel. I recently indulged in my perfect rainy-day afternoon scenario with High Tea at the Lobby Lounge of The Westin [...]

HOT: Lost & Found Hotel Room, Little Collins Hotel, 27 Lt Collins St, Melbourne – Part 2
I like myself the most when I’m on holiday. I’m positive and energised, I’m endlessly curious about places and people, I’m intensely mindful of my surroundings and I take the time to enjoy small moments. So when the temporary Lost & Found Hotel Room told me that they had room at the inn for two [...]
NOT: Crown Metropol, 8 Whiteman St, Southbank
Today we have a guest post from Foo of the Melbourne-based blog Frugal Foo, which is all about finding great value in food, travel, shopping or anything. Really quite invaluable information, and my favourite posts are Melbourne’s Food Court Underbelly and Where to eat in Melbourne for under $30 a day. Foo has written up [...]

The Cullen is a glamorous boutique hotel in Prahran which has been inspired by artist Adam Cullen, and it’s one of the series of Art Hotel popping up in Melbourne.

HOT: Chocolate Indulgence Afternoon Tea, Aria Bar and Lounge, The Langham Melbourne, 1 Southgate Avenue, Southbank
Afternoon tea is my all time favourite meal. In fact, I could happily eat afternoon tea at any time of day, every day. I love the elegant atmosphere, the dainty food and best of all the decadent sweets and pastries. So you can imagine my delight when Nuffnang invited a group of Melbourne food and [...]
HOT: Lost & Found Hotel Room, Little Collins Hotel, 27 Lt Collins St, Melbourne
I live and breathe Melbourne almost every day of the year and this blog is my way of sharing a bit of Melbourne with my local, interstate and international readers. However, I think possibly an even better way to share the best of the city is to create an experience which is all about Melbourne. [...]
HOT: Brooklyn Arts Hotel, 50 George St, Fitzroy
Tucked in a residential street in Fitzroy is an unassuming terrace house signed ‘Brooklyn Arts Hotel’. Push the door open and the two laidback labradors welcome you with a sniff and a tail wag, before Maggie the friendly owner greets you. Brooklyn Arts Hotel is a small bed and breakfast with a welcoming sense of [...]

As promised yesterday, here’s a blow-by-blow account of our meal at Collins Kitchen in the Grand Hyatt Hotel walking through their a la carte dinner menu. Before I start I should warn you – there is a LOT of food involved. I haven’t eaten that much in a long time! First up, warm house-made sourdough [...]
