Fodor's "Set in the heart of St. Kilda's café, bar, and club precinct, Tolarno Hotel was once owned by artists who ran a gallery out of the space, and it still has an idiosyncratic artistic bent." Full review
Lonely Planet "Tolarno was once the site of Georges Mora’s seminal gallery, Tolarno. The fine-dining restaurant downstairs now bears the name of his artist wife Mirka, as well as her original paintings." Full review

Don't book a room at the front of the hotel if you're a light sleeper.
DK Eyewitness "In the heart of St Kilda’s café scene, this modernized hotel features contemporary artworks by local artists and original works by noted Melbourne artist Mirka Mora."
Rough Guide "Stylish and bright en-suite bedrooms with Fifties and Sixties retro furnishings, original artwork, polished timber floors and all mod cons. Good value."
Travel + Leisure "A prime location about five minutes walk from the beach as well as brightly colored rooms and public spaces decorated with original artwork by local artists, including former resident Mirka Mora." Full review
Frommer's "The quirky Hotel Tolarno is in the middle of St. Kilda's cafe and restaurant strip, and a short stroll from the beach." 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"
