Fodor's "Cutting-edge design, contemporary artworks and sculptural furniture, and spare yet inviting luxury make this boutique hotel perfect for aficionados of unfussy elegance." Full review
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

Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Low key, contemporary and elegantly restrained, the 15-room Coppersmith has every right to call itself a boutique property." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Forget gold, we prefer copper and Coppersmith, where the food is delicious, the drinks are just how you like them and everyone knows your name." Full review

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"
