The Bar/Lounge at Pan Pacific Melbourne

"Located on the banks of the Yarra, right next to a big DFO mall, the hotel is a pleasant five-minute riverside wander along the riverfront promenade from the Southbank’s casino, bar and restaurant action"

"For casual dining, stop by Café Cino for lunch, followed by dinner at Nuevo 37, a high-end dining experience, and conclude the evening at Sotano, a bar that boasts a 2,500 bottle wine cellar and exquisite cheese offerings"

"Both Caffe Cino and Dock 37 Bar & Kitchen are impressive spaces for a light meal or more substantial fare"

"Despite its impersonal size and location removed from the city center, this upscale, 396-room Hilton manages to please guests with its attentive service, comfortable (if generic) rooms, and large Executive Lounge"
