Owner George was personally in charge of choosing all the bar's glasses; he even weighed the steak knives to make sure they were ergonomically supreme.
Time Out "Design aficionados will love the muted tones and sleek monochrome lines at this South Melbourne boutique bolthole that is equal parts hotel, bar and bistro." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The non-touristy South-Melbourne location—about 10 minutes from downtown—makes Coppersmith feel like a well-maintained locals-only secret." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With just 15 rooms, this understated, modern boutique hotel is removed from the hubbub of the city's CBD, while remaining close to attractions and transport"
