Art Series The Larwill Studio, Melbourne
More photosExpert reviews
“Creative, wellness-minded travelers who want to be slightly removed from the thrum of Melbourne’s city center (but not deep in suburbia) will love the Larwill for its artsy ambience, gallery-like lobby and hallways and accessible location.”
“The sharp and smart Larwill Studio is one of Melbourne’s newer mid-range properties. The polished, contemporary hotel is energised by original, soul-lifting artworks by the late Australian artist David Larwill – and is where Scandi-style aesthetics meet homegrown creativity.”

Very comfortable and very convenient 5 stars but expensive due to demand for Taylor Swift concert
Very helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. Great location for our needs.
The price of our accommodation was inflated due to the Taylor Swift concert but this would have been the case all over Melbourne that weekend. It's unfortunate we had to be in Melbourne that weekend

Artistic. Getaway. Self care. Alone time. Peaceful. Inspiring.
I loved the concept of the Art Hotel. I think it’s beautiful that David Larwills story is passed on and so is his spirit. I had a wonderful stay and felt very safe, secure, Inspired and clean. A staff member, Ellen Tompkins was particularly lovely and helpful and made my stay Superb!
I liked it all.

Fun trendy comfortable rooms
Beds were comfortable and the room is fun and on trend. Bathroom is a nice size and the location is fantastic with tram stop at front. Access to a Gym, a great cafe, Mc Donalds and more is right inside the same building

Great value for money
Great value for money. The bed was super comfortable, we slept very well. The room was very clean. Relatively well located, just a few minutes from the city by tram.
Couldn't change the AC mode, was either "cool" or nothing. We don't like sleeping with AC, we prefer the "dry" mode if anything, so we turned it off. It would have great to have a smart TV rather than just free to air TV.

One of my favourite hotels to stay in.
Fabulous view from my room to parkland, bed was really comfortable, location was great, room very pleasing, loved the decor. Fabulous to stay in an Art series hotel again, had a wonderful vibe to it. Checkout at 11 am was great. The restaurant attached to the hotel was also very eclectic and the service and food were awesome.
I couldn't fault anything.

I love the art in the hotel, from the reception until the room

Comfortable beds and quiet rooms, beautiful artwork everywhere, great views and location.
We didn't get the Inclusive breakfast, just ordered from the menu at farmacy. The food and service was good and well presented.
The Premium movie channel on the TV wasn't working during our stay. We would have liked more snacks in the mini-bar (like the chocolate buttons with hundreds & thousands on them.)

The location was perfect, we went to a WNBL game at the state sports centre. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Comfortable & very convenient to RCH and city.
It’s convenient location to the RCH.
The mattresses are too soft. The tv’s are not smart tv’s.
9 January 2024
Relaxing.
Definitely the cleanness of the bathroom. The colourful decor and the excellent TV reception.
The bed could have been a bit firmer. The view from the window was a bit depressing-gray concrete blob.

Cheerful hotel in a convenient location
Room was really bright and cheerful. Huge window gave a lot of natural light. Bathroom was big and having a bath was great. Parking and access into the hotel was very easy. Enjoyed Farmacy breakfast a lot.
Would have been helpful to have more USB charging points in room (ones in clock were very very slow).
