Hotel Lindrum

Melbourne


Formerly a billiards hall named for the legendary billiards-and-snooker-playing family that included the unbeatable Walter Lindrum, this hotel is recognisable from its stunning facade and arched windows. Inside is minimalist with tactile fabrics, although the beige colour scheme falls flat and bathrooms can look tired. Best opt for a deluxe room with marvellous Melbourne views. Felt Restaurant and a bar on-site.
