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.

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
