Why did you travel here? For business

The room: I stayed in a Premier Suite (TLTB Ed: One of the new rooms at the top of the hotel) with a bedroom and separate lounge area and a kitchenette. I like the fact the suite had a CD player and broadband internet connection and a large desk to work on. The two large plasma TV screen were good but I could have done with more than four Foxtel channels as I like a better sporting selection at the end of a working day.

The Rest: Dish restaurant looked good but I didn't have time to eat there. The Amberoom bar was cool, probably a little too cool for me; with a 20-something hip crowd. I liked the decor but it wasn't the place for a quiet drink at the end of a busy day. Better for a social evening out.

Surprises? A lot of the staff were Japanese so my guess is they cater to a lot of tourists from Asia. At times it felt like being in Tokyo, not Melbourne - which isn't a bad thing by the way...
