Business facilities, naturally, are as extensive as you could ask for, and the Westin is well positioned for leisure as well — many of the city’s top cultural and commercial destinations are close at hand, as is Flinders Street Station, offering access by rail to just about everything else.

Insight Guides "The Prince has always been one of the city's hippest addresses, and a major refurb a few years ago simply upped the ante."
Lonely Planet "The Prince has a suitably dramatic lobby and the rooms are an interesting mix of the original pub’s proportions, natural materials and a pared-back aesthetic." Full review

Rough Guide Star
"This forty-room boutique hotel housed within the Prince complex is one of Melbourne’s most elegant places to lay your head."
