Melba - Multi-level restaurant named after Melbourne's renowned opera diva Dame Nellie Melba. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook Yarra River and city skyline. Glass-and-steel buffet stations lend to the modern, spacious feel of the restaurant and are complemented by creative light fixtures including small crystal-drop fixtures suspended above the stations. Open/interactive kitchen stations include a tandoori oven, wok, rotisserie, seafood ice blocks, teppanyaki, and floating desserts station. Menu includes Asian and Australian cuisines of salads, seafoods, and beef. Also popular for its chocolate fondue fountain. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Aria - Bar/lounge with sophisticated ambience generated by soft lighting, long marble-topped bar, and clusters of small tables divided by screens. Lamps with funky shades, and a unique crystal wall of light behind the bar add an updated feel. Teas, coffees, and light meals served throughout the day. Afternoon tea with assorted finger sandwiches, warm scones with jam and cream, petit fours, and cakes also served daily. Evening menu includes champagnes, classic cocktails, and wines from the Yarra Valley. Live music featured Wednesdays–Saturdays.

A wall of windows in the ninth-storey health club offers city views from the fitness centre, which features 13 cardio machines such as treadmills, elliptical/cross-training machines, stationary bikes, stair machines, and rowing machines.

Located on level nine in the health club/pool area, Chuan Spa offers seven treatment rooms, men's and women's dressing areas with locker facilities, separate steam rooms and saunas, and private rooms for post-treatment relaxation.

In Chinese, chuan means “flowing water” and represents the rebirth and rebalancing of the entire being. Chuan Spa is a place designed to create an ambience of tranquility for contemplation and inspiration. Treatments aim to nurture, heal, and restore, and use products that represent the Five Elements: wood, earth, metal, fire, and water. To this end, guests are asked to complete a brief lifestyle elemental questionnaire before each treatment in order to determine which treatments suit their needs.

In addition to the signature Langham Chuan Spa products, the spa uses and sells options from the Thalgo skincare line, which draws inspiration from the marine environment.
