InterContinental Melbourne The RialtoAn AU$60 million dollar makeover taking 18 months restored this 1891 National Trust-classified pair of buildings into a fabulous mix of heritage and style. Since opening in 2008, this world-class destination hotel has become a firm Melbourne favourite. Gothic confections including wrought-iron balustrades and fairytale towers meld seamlessly with designer Joseph Pang’s electric blue-lit modernity in bars and restaurants. The rooms are as classic as they are cutting edge, but above all, supremely comfortable.
