Vibrant is the word
Bright warm colors, simplistic in design and close to the working end of Melbourne, that is, right next door to the Queen Victoria Markets.
The Jasper Hotel is great four-star accommodation designed for business and leisure travel. It's big in the conference sense of the word, yet offering residential day packages. Well known and respected hotel ceo Tony Barradale, with his creative team, offers a four-star hotel, with quite a difference. For instance, it has an entirely smoke free environment. There's the renowned Jasper Kitchen for breakfasts, lunches and events. Two points worth considering when looking for a Melbourne hotel. This one offers complimentary access to a health club, and the big attraction in my book (the Jasper point of difference), is the Jasper art gallery, featuring the works of leading artists. The current display features the works of Rebecca Pearson. Out of 10, I'd give the Jasper Hotel '11'. Reservations to 1800 468 359 or go visit jasperhotel.com.au and for general enquiries ring (03) 8327 2777.
