This is our 3rd or 4th stay at the hotel and it never disappoints. The features in the lobby and communal areas are grand and characterful and the rooms are modern and contain everything you need. We went for a standard room this time, which while on the small side, the bathroom was lovely and spacious. Amazing shower, Comfy beds and pitch black rooms at night for a great sleep. Breakfast is also delicious with lots of choice and great quality. The hotel recognised our wedding anniversary with a gift in the room and a complimentary drink in the bar. Thank you for another great stay!

Wonderful! From the moment that we arrived, the Fitzroy exceeded all of our expectations. Front desk staff and doorman were helpful and welcoming. Rooms are spacious and impeccably kept by the housekeeping crew. Breakfast service staff were courteous and attentive. Definitely visit the restaurant for breakfast, you will not find a more friendly and helpful food service team. Will definitely visit again!
