The art deco Royce Hotel opened in a former 1920s Rolls-Royce dealership in 2000. Now a redesign has reinstated the hotel’s glamour and glory – and then some.
You might have seen the memes suggesting, “In a world full of Kardashians, be an Audrey” – or a “Diana”, or other classy icon; meaning, one assumes, that in a world full of trendy people and things, one should choose to be classic.
Melbourne hospitality operator Mazen Tabet and his Tabet Investment Group bought the Royce in 2018, closed it and engaged SJB Interiors, exponents of many successful private, public and hospitality projects, to reinstate the hotel’s glamour and glory – and then some. Just by way of location, the Royce ticks some of those boxes. It sits on the edge of South Yarra, one of Melbourne’s more affluent suburbs. And like Mayfair, it affords easy access to the CBD, a short tram ride north, as well as Melbourne Grammar next door, the Shrine of Remembrance and Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria a stroll away, and Alfred Hospital a 15-minute walk the other way through a locals’ favourite, Faulkner Park.
