#6 of 7 hotels in South Yarra & Prahran by Axel's take. South Yarra & Prahran is #6 of 9 places to stay in Melbourne. The best hotels in South Yarra & Prahran, ranked · Where to stay in Melbourne

Axel's take: 8.1/10

A strong South Yarra base, but not quite polished five-star luxury. An art-themed, five-star aparthotel in South Yarra, scored for what it is.

The Olsen is an art-themed, five-star aparthotel whose strongest selling point is Chapel Street, not flawless luxury. We'd pick it for a neighbourhood stay built around restaurants, shopping and easy train trips into central Melbourne. John Olsen artworks give it character, while kitchenettes make the suites practical for longer visits. Expedia and Booking.com guests consistently praise the location, comfortable beds and helpful staff; cleanliness is generally well rated too.

The caveat is condition: recent Accor and Expedia guests describe rooms needing a refresh, with chipped fittings and maintenance niggles. Neighbouring apartment construction has also generated repeated noise complaints, including September 2026 reports; check its status before booking. Street noise can intrude too, and paid parking is limited. The heated outdoor pool and gym are useful extras, but we'd skip it for guaranteed quiet or meticulously maintained luxury.

  • Best for: Couples exploring South Yarra; Longer stays with light self-catering; Shopping and restaurant weekends

  • Watch out for: Neighbouring construction and street noise; Some tired rooms and fittings; Limited paid parking

  • Location: On Chapel Street near dining and shopping, with South Yarra station within walking distance.

  • Rooms: Practical suites with kitchenettes and comfortable beds; condition and noise exposure vary.

  • Cleanliness: Generally praised across booking sites, though some recent Accor guests report housekeeping lapses.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are a recurring strength, especially at reception.

  • Amenities: Heated outdoor glass-bottomed pool, gym and Spoonbill restaurant; not a full-service spa resort.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking costs extra and can fill up; card surcharge and security deposit apply; nearby construction warrants checking.
