Melbourne-Hemisphere Hotel, Brighton Beach

We arrived in Melbourne to the Hotel of our choice!  The Hemisphere is a hotel on a university campus and was very new. The room was spacious and light.  The only thing was that there was no bar or restaurant because it was the weekend.  There were quite a few people staying for the Grand Prix and so we took the time to visit the beaches, mostly named from English areas.  This is Brighton Beach complete with huts!  The area is covered with bays and lovely swimming areas.  We walked up and down the promenade just as we would in England.  We found lovely restaurants and bars and the people were very friendly.

We felt very relaxed their and enjoyed the views of the Port Philip and Melbourne in the distance. The main thing was to watch all the dog walkers, this being a 'posh' area it was guess the breed (no mongrels here!).  The restaurants  along the front allowed dogs to sit with owners if they were on the terraces. All designer gear here.
Bet the prices of the properties match as well.
