Why it's worth checking out
The Larwill Studio sits on Flemington Road at Parkville, just north of the Melbourne CBD near the Royal Children's Hospital and the parklands. Part of the Art Series group, it's a distinctive, art-themed boutique hotel — inspired by the work of Australian artist David Larwill — combining stylish, creatively designed rooms with quality facilities and a characterful, design-led feel.
The appeal is that combination of stylish, art-inspired accommodation, a boutique atmosphere and a convenient Parkville location, close to the city, the parklands, the university and the hospital precinct. For a characterful, design-led stay with genuine personality, the Larwill's artistic theme and quality make it a distinctive and well-regarded choice.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its guests. Room types, rates, facilities and availability vary with the season and demand, and a boutique hotel books out around busy periods, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly ahead — particularly if you're travelling at a busy time or want a specific room type for your stay near the city.
