Quincy Hotel Melbourne

This city-centre hotel includes a vibrant Thai-inspired restaurant and a cocktail bar with skyline views. Quincy Hotel Melbourne takes cues from South-East Asia in both its design and food offerings.

Salted Egg, its main dining space, skews toward Thai flavours: think crispy pork belly with tamarind caramel or green papaya salad. Gold tones and leafy accents give it energy, and it runs all day, from breakfast through to dinner.

Q Bar sits high in the tower, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a cocktail list that favours tropical ingredients like pandan, lemongrass and yuzu. We’d time a visit for sunset.
