The Intercontinental Melbourne The Rialto has a fantastic central location that's perfect for exploring the city, though there are a few hiccups in service and facilities. I enjoyed the comfortable bed and the well-designed rooms (especially the view from my outward-facing room), but service at the restaurant was a bit slow, and I encountered issues with room amenities not being replenished. Overall, it's a stylish place with potential, but it could use some attention to detail.

Rooms

I was pleased with the spacious design of my outward-facing room, which provided a much better atmosphere than the interior-facing room I had previously. However, I did notice that some items like tissues were not consistently replenished, which was disappointing.
Service

I absolutely loved the hotel's prime location right in the business district-everything Melbourne has to offer is within walking distance, and the free circular tram service was a big plus for getting around.

The breakfast was impressive with a wide variety of options. However, I found the service in the dining area to be slower than expected, which was a bit frustrating during peak hours.
Facilities

The fitness facilities and pool area felt a bit outdated and not as luxurious as I had hoped for a 5-star hotel. Despite this, I appreciated the clean room and the variety of services offered like room service and valet parking.

My recent stay at the Intercontinental Melbourne The Rialto had its highlights and disappointments. The location is perfect for exploring the city, and I enjoyed the comfortable bed and attentive service in the Club Lounge. However, the room left much to be desired with issues like stained furniture and inconsistent housekeeping. Overall, while I appreciated the amenities, there were several aspects that nudged the experience below expectations.

Rooms

I found the room to be spacious with comfortable bedding, yet I noticed it was a little tired and in need of updates. The furniture was stained, and the outdoor area was not clean, which was disappointing, especially for a high-end hotel.
Service
