Character and identity
Opened in 2023 after nearly a decade in the making, this Ritz-Carlton occupies the top 17 floors of the 80-story West Side Place Tower, making it the tallest hotel in Australia. The 257 rooms and suites sit high above the city, with 360-degree panoramas stretching to Port Phillip Bay. Bar Studio's interiors lean elegant and airy in neutrals, maroons and navies, threaded with works by First Nations and local artists. Atria, the signature restaurant on the rooftop, plates chef Michael Greenlaw's hyper-local menu, while Cameo on the 80th floor pours vintage cocktails. A 64th-floor infinity pool and spa round out the offer.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and design-literate travellers who want the highest possible perch in Melbourne and serious cooking to match. The vintage spirits programme at Cameo, the tasting menu at Atria, and the Calacatta marble bathrooms with Diptyque amenities reward guests who plan to spend time in the hotel. Families are catered for through Ritz-Kids storytimes rooted in local culture.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers who want a heritage, low-rise or harbourside property with a strong street-level connection to Melbourne's laneway culture. This is a vertical, sky-high experience inside a residential tower, so guests after a boutique or character-led stay near the action at ground level may find it remote in feel.
Bottom line
The defining draw here is altitude: the views, the 64th-floor infinity pool and the 80th-floor cocktail bar give this hotel a vantage point no other Australian property can match, and the food and bathrooms live up to it. Book a higher-category room facing Port Phillip Bay, plan a dinner at Atria with a window seat, and arrive in time for sundowners at Cameo.
