Melbourne, Australia
Stay with Inspirato in Melbourne—the lively capital city along Australia's southern coast. Conveniently located in the Southbank Promenade, The Langham Melbourne is a five-star luxury hotel boasting regal suites, multiple dining options, and 360-degree views of the Yarra River and Melbourne skyline.
The capital city of the Australian state of Victoria, Melbourne is a hub for virtually everything Down Under-culture, art, restaurants, nightlife, shopping, music, you name it. Nestled in Port Phillip Bay, the world-class waterfront city feels European, thanks to its colonial, Victorian-era architecture and wide, tree-lined boulevards. Beneath Melbourne's sophisticated veneer, you'll find a mix of tucked-out-of-the-way alley cafes, graffiti street art (which the city is famous for), and buzzed-about restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines. Hop on one of the city's old-school trams to take a ride around the Melbourne and soak it all in.
