The Albany Hotel is a fabulous little gem tucked away in one of South Yarra?s prettiest streets. Once a hangout for musicians in the 60's and 70's?, it is somewhat of an institution in the area with a 40 year history. It was originally a 1960's motel attached to a wonderful Victorian Mansion and has since been split into the Albany Original and the newly formed Bloomfield Hotel.
Having recently undergone a transformation, the Hotel has emerged with a Fashion meets Music theme which can be seen throughout the property. From the black and white striped walls in the bar, to the floor to ceiling photographs, murals and artwork, funky bed-heads and red hallways, it's become an interesting and chilled place to stay.
There are many different room types which are designed to cater to the needs and budgets of all our guests. ... [+] More The hotel section of the Albany houses our Deluxe rooms and the rear motel section our original standard rooms and our refurbished Superior rooms with original bathrooms, along with the Pool Club Deluxe rooms which have had a funky fitout but still house original bathrooms and we also offer a spa suite w a lounge area.
