Pegasus Apart’Hotel

Compared to more centrally-located properties, this apart-hotel has a quiet, laid-back feel, attracting many business travelers and families. Offering the convenience of a hotel, but with all the comforts of home, each room features a fully-equipped kitchenette, making this property popular with long stay travelers too. Constructed in 2012, this 22-story building has a modern feel, with simple decor throughout. The spacious, bright lobby features chic furniture, statement light fixtures, a sociable bar area, and colorful artwork adorning the walls, making it a nice spot to have a drink or intimate meeting. The on-site restaurant has a modern feel as well, with a relaxed, open-dining atmosphere, and striking sculpted art centerpiece. The indoor pool is a popular spot for families and kids, meaning it can get busy, especially during school holidays. This property has more features than many apartment-style hotels, making it a solid bet for travelers of all stripes.

This apartment-style hotel is located on a quiet street, just a four-minute walk from the Queen Victoria Market and Flagstaff Gardens. It's a good choice for anyone who wants to be within walking distance to action of the CBD, but not right on top of it. The Bourke Street Mall is a 15-minute walk, Southern Cross rail station is a 20-minute walk, and Southbank is a 10-minute drive. There are plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants in the immediate area, as well as multiple public transport options nearby. Flagstaff Station is just a four-minute walk, and there is a tram stop right outside the hotel. Other nearby attractions include the Etihad Stadium, which is a 25-minute walk, and Flemington Racecourse, which is a 10-minute drive. Melbourne Tullamarine Airport is 30 minutes away by car. 

The modern feel of the hotel carries through to its 283 rooms as well, though they are quite simple when it comes to decor. Rooms are generously-sized and decor is plain, with monochrome color palettes, big windows, and lovely city views. Furniture is kept minimal, with sleek work desks, padded armchairs, and Queen beds with white bedding. Just a few pieces of abstract art hang on the otherwise bare walls, and some guests have noted a bit of wear on things from walls to blinds. There are plenty of room options at this property, including suites, studios, and apartments -- making it an ideal choice for families and long stay travelers. Some units are themed and designed for families, with jungle, circus, or car racing-inspired decor. Modern amenities include free Wi-Fi, 40-inch LCD flatscreen TVs, phones, safes, alarm clocks, irons, and air-conditioning, while free slippers add a nice touch. Each room comes with a kitchenette, featuring a fridge, stovetop, microwave, toaster, kettle, and basic utensils, though there is no minibar. Bathrooms are small and simple, with all essentials catered for, including glass-door showers, hairdryers, and free toiletries. Counter space can be limited in some.

This aparthotel has a number of attractive facilities, such as an indoor heated swimming pool, hot tub, and spacious gym with up-to-date equipment and free weights. The small rooftop terrace is an ideal place to take in the city views, while the modern lobby and lounge bar are pleasant spots to have a drink. The hotel's contemporary on-site restaurant, Pegasus, is a convenient place to grab a bite to eat, serving an international a la carte menu. A breakfast buffet is served here daily, but it comes at an additional fee. Two spacious meeting rooms overlook the restaurant, though they come with only basic equipment. The hotel also offers room service, laundry service, 24-hour reception, concierge, and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, though there is an additional fee for parking.
