Solo traveler visiting Melbourne for the NFL 49ers Rams game and had a 1st class stay at the Treasury on Collins. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. The balcony room was exceptional allowing for time outside to soak up the views and sounds of the city. Location in the CBD was outstanding. Close to so much and access to the free transit in the CBD zone and beyond to experience more of the city including to the game at the MCG was priceless. Definitely will look to stay here again when I return. This is a true luxury Hotel.
