Chic and boutique, the luxurious The Lyall is located in the upscale suburb of South Yarra, a short tram or train ride to the city. Refreshed in 2023, it now offers a new level of elegance and sophistication - serene, generous, residential rooms, some with Parisienne balconies or overlooking the Japanese maple garden. Breakfast is offered on the leafy patio in the mornings - the bistro staying open through the day with a seasonal menu and drinks. For those seeking a stay at an exclusive address, The Lyall offers a retreat - a short ride to the MCG, Melbourne Park and the Australian Open, the Melbourne Botanical Gardens, Albert Park, Federation Square, the Arts Center and NGV, and the luxury boutiques of Toorak Road. Melbourne CBD is 1.6 mi away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
