Stayed here for a work trip and was genuinely impressed by the hotel gym. The hotel is great. Lovely staff. Lovely rooms and a great bathroom! Breakfast is a really nice buffet or a grab and go in the foyer cafe. The coffee is great - it is MElbourne after all. The equipment is all Technogym — premium quality and well maintained. Here's exactly what's available for anyone wondering: **Machines:** Chest press, lat pulldown, leg extension/leg curl combo, dual adjustable pulley cable system (adjustable for upper and lower body — chest press, rows, shoulder press, flies, cable curls, hip abduction and more) **Free weights:** Dumbbells from 4kg to 22kg, kettlebells from 4kg to 20kg, medicine balls **Other:** Adjustable bench, cardio equipment is the usual treadmills and technogym bikes. **Heated pool** around 20m (that's a guess when I stepped it out) also available which I used for laps — excellent for low-impact recovery sessions. There's a dry sauna as well. The space is compact but smartly designed — everything you need for a full upper or lower body session. The Technogym cable machine alone covers a huge range of exercises. I am just a regular gym goer - I guess if you needed really heavy weights or specific equipment you'd get a day pass - but for everything I do I was able to get in a good chest and leg day while travelling for work. Would return specifically for the gym facilities. Highly recommended for anyone travelling with a training programme.

“A little gem in Melbourne”

This is a wonderful hotel in downtown Melbourne. The location is great with some fanstastic bars and restaurants on the same street, the tram right outside and lots to explore within walking distance. The rooms are all kind of brand new since this hotel has not been open long, they are large and well appointed with great views across the city. Despite being in central Melbourne, it's not too bad for noise. The winner here is the rooftop pool which is a sun trap on a sunny day, but with limited loungers and no outdoor bar it's an after thought which is a shame - they do offer food and drinks service through a QR code so not all is lost. The coffee shop/lobby bar which offers happy hour is really cute, the coffee is great. The breakfast was busy and crowded and the service was not great or attentive, in fact I was ignored every day I went there and had to actively go and ask for help and for coffee - seemed understaffed and a little underwhelming. All in all and despite a confusing situation with an ambassador free daily coffee voucher amenity, which is turns out is not daily at all but just on day 1 (why say it's daily when it's not!) I had a great stay here and loved this hotel. I love the new design aesthetic of Le Meridien and the staff here were super friendly and helpful.

“Disappointing”

Disappointing stay. Small room with no view due to frosted windows. Slow/spotty wifi. Would stay elsewhere next time.
