After a meticulous two-year refurbishment, the historic Royce in Melbourne emerges as a lavish Art Deco hotel, situated at the confluence of Melbourne’s CBD and South Yarra.
The Royce, a sister property to The Lyall, now boasts 94 opulent rooms, paying homage to its heritage as an auto showroom for prestigious Rolls Royce vehicles some 90 years ago.
Nestled near prominent landmarks like the Royal Botanical Gardens, Albert Park, and the National Gallery of Victoria, The Royce exudes a timeless elegance.
Guests indulging in a stay at The Royce can relish the hotel’s rich history, dating back to its collaboration between architect Harry Norris and renowned luxury car agent Kellow Falkiner.
The luxury experience at The Royce extends beyond accommodation, offering an elevated culinary journey featuring wines from Victorian vineyards like Caledonia Australia and Tar & Roses from Mornington Peninsula.
Moreover, guests can savor local delights such as Koko Black chocolates and sip on brews from Melbourne-founded tea company Tea Drop.
Events Manager Laura Dauphin at The Royce orchestrates tailored boutique experiences for guests, ensuring every stay is imbued with exclusivity and sophistication.
The hotel’s well-curated design narrative extends to its lavish suites, including loft-inspired spaces with original cornicing that once housed the original Rolls Royce mechanic workshop.
For guests with an eye for unique views, terrace rooms at The Royce offer picturesque glimpses of Melbourne Grammar School’s scenic grounds.
Aside from its distinctive design, The Royce also provides guests with sophisticated amenities like Royce Lekker Bicycles for local exploration and a well-equipped 24/7 gym.
With its blend of Art Deco glamour, culinary indulgence, and historic charm, The Royce emerges as a premier hospitality destination in the heart of Melbourne.
