If you’re looking for something a bit cooler than the usual hotel room when you’re in Melbourne, the new Jazz Corner Hotel has everything you need.
The brainchild of local musician/developer Albert Dadon, it has all the high-end amenities you’d expect such as free wifi, fully equipped kitchen, in-room washer/dryer and pay TV – plus a very comfortable couch to watch it from.
In addition to high-quality bedding and sweeping views of the city, the decor has a musical feel with feature walls showcasing classic album covers, and framed instruments planned for each suite.
The theme is an extension of the music venue below the hotel. Bird’s Basement is a world-renowned performance space where you can enjoy dinner and a show – not just jazz, but a range of musicians as well as comedians, depending on the night – without having to call a cab.
When you’re hungry, downstairs restaurant Beer, Wine, Calzone offers the items in its name – as well as the must-try “burgza” (a hamburger with pizza-dough bun) – and the mezzanine is given over to a combination breakfast room and meeting place overlooking Flagstaff Gardens.
Next door’s Brother Thomas rounds things out with café food and, of course, the coffee you’ll need after a night on the trombone.
