Tyrian Serviced Apartments Fitzroy is a luxury aparthotel at 91 Johnston Street, with 36 apartments over five floors in one of Melbourne's most characterful inner suburbs. It is rated 9.6 out of 10 by guests from more than 650 reviews, which places it among the highest-rated places to stay in the city. Each apartment has a full kitchen, with cookware, dishes and utensils, a dishwasher, microwave, stovetop, toaster, electric kettle, coffee and tea maker and a freezer, and laundry facilities include a washer and dryer and detergent, with a laundry service also available. Free secured parking on site is a rare bonus in Fitzroy. The front desk is open from 7am to 9pm, check-in runs from 2pm to 9pm and check-out is before 10am, with early check-in and late check-out available for a fee. Brunswick Street is a minute away on foot, Melbourne Museum ten minutes, the Royal Exhibition Building twelve minutes, and Queen Victoria Market a four-minute drive. Melbourne Central and Southern Cross Station are about five minutes by car, and the airport around twenty-six minutes. It suits couples, groups and longer stays, and travellers who want a neighbourhood base with a local feel.
Fitzroy is the reason to stay here. Brunswick Street and Smith Street are lined with cafes, bars, vintage shops, galleries and live music venues, and the suburb is the heart of Melbourne's alternative scene. The apartments put you in the middle of it, within walking distance of the Carlton Gardens and Melbourne Museum, and trams run to the city centre. If you plan to eat out most nights, the doorstep dining is superb, and the kitchens give you the option to cook on quieter evenings.
The apartment format suits families and groups. You get more space than a standard hotel room, a laundry for longer stays and free secured parking, which is useful if you are touring beyond the city. The trade-off is that services are lighter than in a full-service hotel: the front desk keeps set hours, and there is no restaurant or spa on site, so check what is included in your rate and the arrival arrangements when you book, especially for late arrivals after 9pm.
Who should book? Couples and friends who want to live like locals, families who need a kitchen and laundry, and visitors staying several nights. If you want to be in the middle of the laneways or the theatres, a central hotel will save time, though trams make the city centre easy to reach. Rates rise during major events, so book early for the Australian Open and the Melbourne Cup carnival, and confirm any minimum-age rules, since guests must be at least 18 to check in.
