Fodor's Expert Review Pensione Hotel Melbourne

This 114-room hotel with a serious dash of industrial chic (exposed brick walls and black, brown, and red minimalist decor) is just the sort of lodging you'd expect to open in hip central Melbourne. There's a big choice of rooms, from singles, doubles, and triples, to a rooftop apartment on the same level as the hotel's shared sundeck. Popular with business and convention guests, this hotel is a small alluring escape. It's convenient to Southbank, Docklands, and the river and perfect for those who don't like the big five-star properties.
