Tyrian Serviced Apartments, Melbourne review: Weekend away

By Benjamin Law

Tyrian Serviced Apartments

The location

For those requiring speedy access to Melbourne's CBD, but aren't thrilled with sleeping in a high-rise, Fitzroy - bohemian, multi-ethnic and colourful - is the place to be. Melbourne's oldest suburb offers what every visitor is really seeking out in this city: character.

The place

Corporate-looking but comfortable, the furnishings - all chrome and royal purples - bring to mind a slick airline lounge. A deluxe apartment has a balcony with a Melbourne CBD skyline view. There's a kitchenette and laundry, and supermarket downstairs.

The experience

From here, you can pack the quintessential Melbourne experience - museums, trams, restaurants, galleries, shopping, laneway coffee - into one day. Stroll through Carlton Gardens and Museum Victoria, grab a bite in Brunswick Street's iconic restaurants and cafés, shop at its boutiques, then hop on a tram into Federation Square. Walk to the National Gallery, and you've seen the best of the city.

Don't miss

Johnston Street itself is home to Melbourne's only dedicated queer bookshop, Hares and Hyenas, and Video Dogs, one of the city's last surviving independent DVD shops.
