Fodor's Expert Review InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto

495 Collins St., Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, Australia

Tucked behind one of Melbourne's most iconic Gothic facades, The Rialto is a five-star luxury hotel designed by William Pitt, the architect behind many Melbourne landmarks. All guest rooms feature luxury finishes throughout as well as ergonomic work stations, flat-screen televisions, minibar, and complimentary tea and coffee. Beneath the soaring glass atrium, Alluvial Restaurant and Bluestone Wine Lounge feature quality seasonal produce and an impressive selection of wines by the glass. Local ingredients come as local as the hotel's own rooftop herb garden and honey producing beehives. Located off the lobby level, the Market Lane Bar is a popular cocktail bar.
