"Just off swanky Toorak Road and a quick sashay from boutique-jammed Chapel Street, its suites feel more like your own warm, homely apartment than a hotel room." Full review

I notice, while we take our breather, that every request a guest makes is met with an ‘of course’ or ‘certainly’.
Condé Nast Traveler "The Lyall's hushed ambience, ageless service, and slight remove from downtown Melbourne in South Yarra set it apart." Full review
Lonely Planet "Just off Toorak Rd, the 40-suite Lyall, with one- and two-bedroom apartments, is all about the good life: on-site spa and champagne bar, original artwork by French-born Thierry B, even a pillow menu." Full review
