UNITED PLACES BOTANIC GARDENS

Pioneering a new level of luxury in a city that prides itself on its luxe levels is a big ask , but United Places Botanic Gardens, situated in South Yarra, opposite Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, might just pull it off. Combining a hotel/home vibe, the 12 suites are spacious and opulent, and there’s a personalised butler service too.
