The Prince

The Prince is a luxury boutique hotel in cosmopolitan St Kilda, minutes away from the beach and many of Melobourne's fine restaurants. But don't be fooled by the tranquil facade with glimpses of the bay through tree-lined Fitzroy Street. St Kilda is one of the most vibrant places in Melbourne, and behind the elegantly transformed art deco exterior, The Prince is a gallery-like collaboration of art, fabric and sculptural designer furniture rich in color and texture.

Each of the 40 rooms is unique in plan. Every room features a Bose WAVE radio, Loewe television and DVD player, braodband access, windows that open, along with a hairdryer and in-room safe. Artwork adorns the walls in light-filled space. Rattan and raw timber complement the soft neutral palette. And supreme quality bedlined, waffle weavebathrobes, Aesop botanical hair and body products, and Circa's 24-hour room service hallmark the hight standrads ath The Prince. But no two rooms are the same.

Staying at The Prince means never having to leave the hotel building. Relax and unwind with a full body massage at Aurora Spa Retreat. Enjoy a swim if The Deck is free. Snack cafe-style over a sangiovese at il Fornaio. Perhaps a siesta before dinner at Circa? Follow with a nightcap at Mink. And if you're still in the mood for a cleansing ale. a glass of champagne or hand-made Valrhona chocolates, Circa's room service operates 24/7. Personal service here is paramount.
