I stayed there about a month ago. Very very nice, but for the money, I would probably say the Park Hyatt is better.

Met the door man whose name was Richard HOSKING tonight. I was filling up piece of crap crewman when he pulled up next to me in NL Fairlane at servo. Had a good chat and he is a Ford man!!! I have heard it is the best in Melb, was supposed to stay there in 03 but they were overbooked so stayed in Park Hyatt.

Yeah ditto. A corner room or studio is bigger than a std room at the towers, and cheaper if i remember correctly.

I have stayed in both Crown Towers, and the Park Hyatt, and I agree with Yummy Mummy, the Park Hyatt is better. I also get a special rate through my work with them.

So you are still at the General then?

If you go to Crown Towers, get as high as you can and the same for the Hyatt, however their numbering system is odd. Ground floor is the third floor. They have the best rooms however, with the room I was in last time equipped with an open fire. It just depends where you want to stay.
