The Lyall Hotel

Situated in the heart of chic and fashionable South Yarra, The Lyall is just a short stroll from dozens of Australia’s top designer fashion stores and world-class restaurants. Small, privately owned and operated by Melbourne couple Rowina and Peter Thomas, The Lyall offers grand hotel services and facilities on a more intimate and personal scale. The private club-like ambience attracts guests who appreciate personal recognition and discreet attention to their individual needs.

The Lyall’s suite accommodation is all of deluxe standard, comprising one and two bedroom configurations including super deluxe “rooftop” suites with fabulous views and grand suites. Beautifully textured finishes and opulent fabrics capture a mood that is contemporary oriental. All suites enjoy the added luxury of opening windows for fresh air and a furnished balcony. Most notable is the Lyall’s unique attention to the smaller details including mist-free mirrors, bathroom under-floor heating, king size beds and a mini-bar with a difference. Most suites also have their own
kitchen facilities.

A unique feature of the Lyall Hotel is its series of “mini art galleries” on each floor where guests can relax in front of the fire and evaluate the original art. Bistro Lyall provides an elegant yet relaxed setting in which to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner inside or al fresco on the terrace. The menu offers contemporary, seasonal cuisine  which captures the essence of Melbourne’s multicultural influences.

The Lyall Spa is the embodiment of  a calm and revitalising environment for men and women. The programme of services incorporates a variety of therapies for the face, body and mind, using natural products with personalised one-on-one service - ensuring a unique wellness experience.
