Sofitel

Went here for afternoon tea. Great food, nice atmosphere and staff a attentive. There was also a large birthday party in (for a 90^th) and e place was not noisy as there is enough space to absorb noise and large groups. It was a special great to go here and I’d certainly be back for another celebration. Not pretentious, just real attention to details.

Compared to other parts of the world, dining in hotels in Australia offers a generally lacklustre, «strictly-​for-​the-​guests» experience. However, located in the «Paris-​end» of Melbourne, the Sofitel increasingly distinguishes itself with a classy restaurant preparing some very innovative food and offering stunning views day and night (No 35), a glamourous bar/​lounge (The Atrium), and now, a worthy afternoon tea venue (Sofi’s Lounge)…with both the generosity and hospitality of an imperial Egyptian affair, indeed!
