As a seasoned travel writer, I’ve stayed in countless hotels, but Quincy Melbourne is anything but ordinary. Forget beige, forgettable spaces – this is a hotel that screams personality from the moment you step inside.
The first thing that strikes you is the energy. It’s like walking into a living, breathing piece of Melbourne’s creative spirit. The curved golden staircase and bold accents set the tone immediately – this isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s an experience.
The floor-to-ceiling windows gave my hotel room a panoramic view of Melbourne’s cityscape, with Burn City’s vibrant energy quite literally unfolding before my eyes.
The room itself is a design lover’s dream. Bathed in soothing hues of jade, pink, and blue, it’s both calming and inspiring. But what truly sets it apart is the attention to detail. The mini bar alone is a journey – from Singaporean Laksa-flavored chips to a locally crafted gin with Southeast Asian botanicals, it’s clear this hotel is about creating moments of surprise and delight.
Technology meets comfort effortlessly at Quincy Melbourne. A Samsung 55″ Smart TV, premium wi-fi, and a pillow menu ensure I’m as comfortable working as I am relaxing. And when I needed a change of scenery, the level 28 co-working space became my temporary office with a view.
Quincy is more than just a hotel – it’s a philosophy. General Manager Andrew Edwards embodies this approach, treating guests like friends and family. His team seems genuinely invested in creating authentic connections, breaking away from traditional hotel norms.
Pro tip: Take the lift to the rooftop. The views over the Melbourne CBD are absolutely breathtaking, and it’s the perfect spot to reset between adventures or grab a drink before one begins.
For travellers who crave more than just a room key, this is your haven, on the doorstep of everything Melbourne has to offer.
