“The Prince, with its art deco bones and modern styling, is more than just a place to sleep; it's a launchpad into St Kilda's vibrant scene. I particularly appreciate the commitment to local and international wines and the history steeped within the Prince Bandroom, making it a unique Melbourne stay. It's a spot where you can easily walk to the beach or catch a tram to explore further afield.”
