There’s a certain magic you feel as soon as you step through the door. Every corner of this charmingly compact space is designed with intention. A harmonious blend of elegance and comfort that wraps you in a warm and cosy embrace.

The sunlight streams through the windows, bathing the living area in a soft glow. Here, you’ll find a ambient electric fireplace, its flames flickering gently as though performing just for you.

Whether you’re sipping a morning coffee or unwinding after a day in the city, this is where you’ll want to linger.

In the kitchen, everything is ready for you whether you’re perfecting a recipe, experimenting with something new, or simply enjoying Melbourne’s renowned takeout scene.

The king bed, dressed in rich, earthy tones, make the space equally perfect for a fun getaway or a peaceful solo retreat. Vibrant artwork and playful patterns create a lively yet relaxing vibe, making every night feel like a treat.

And then, there’s the modest and moody bathroom a humble escape of its own. With ebony walls casting sepia-toned shadows as the day wears on, it induces relaxation. Step into the walk-in shower and let the world melt away, surrounded by premium soaps, plush towels, and a touch of indulgence.

This isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a story waiting to be written. Nestled on Swanston Street, The Gilded Nook offers the perfect balance of city energy and private tranquility.

► HOW YOU WILL BE CHECKING IN (24/7)

◈ Key Exchange Service → 250m or a 2 min walk from your apartment. If your arrival is outside the operating hours of the Key Exchange Service, we will relocate your collection point to a 24/7 service in the CBD.

Please plan ahead accordingly. We highly advise and recommend using a ride-share service like Uber, or a rental car to make your arrival effortless. Walking to KeyNest with luggage to collect keys can be tiresome and unnecessarily laborious.

NOTE: From time to time, there may be a change to this process for reasons outside our control e.g. road blocks, a sudden change in operating hours of the Key Exchange Service. This will be communicated to all affected guests in advance.

► VEHICLE ACCESS ON SWANSTON STREET

◈ Swanston Street in Melbourne’s CBD is a tram and pedestrian priority zone, with restricted vehicle access. Rideshare vehicles, including Uber, are generally not allowed to operate on Swanston Street between Flinders and La Trobe Streets. Passengers are advised to use nearby streets for pick-ups and drop-offs. Please contact our concierge for further information.
