A place to call home

Set in the leafy suburb of South Yarra, one of Melbourne's most prestigious addresses, lies The Lyall. A luxury boutique hotel of just 50 rooms and suites - sophisticated, serene and calming.

A stay here is to step into the heart of the neighbourhood and the art of relaxed living. An invitation to explore or unwind, in the intimate lobby, on the terrace, or the balconettes, wherever your mood takes you.

The Lyall is listed in the Michelin Guide, and was crowned the Best Luxury Boutique Hotel, the Best Small Hotel and Best Design Hotel in Australia and Oceania at the 2025 World Luxury Hotel Awards.

Our rooms and suites evoke the elegance and sophistication of Paris. Natural light filters through the windows, and balconettes and terraces are made for a coffee and croissant or people-watching. The seven suites - with spacious bathing, dressing and living quarters, deep baths and garden views - whisper quiet luxury. Each comes with Nespresso machines, Chromecast, a curated minibar, Molton Brown amenities and bath salts, and Dyson hairdryers.
