Rhiannon East

The Windsor Hotel. State Parliament. Treasury Gardens. Carlton Gardens. The Royal Exhibition Building.

Spring Street is home to some of the most historically significant and majestic buildings in Melbourne. It is also home to lush, green hectares of Botanic Gardens showcasing why Victoria is often referred to as "the Garden State".

Spring Street is an exclusive address, within the Free Tram Zone at the "Paris End" of Melbourne. It provides easy access to the shopping meccas of Collins, Little Collins and Bourke Streets. Stroll to world-famous eateries of Flinders Lane, enjoy a matinee at one of our most treasured Theatres - the Princess or Her Majesty's, or a glass of vino at the Wine Bar on Little Bourke Street. The rooftop of the Imperial Hotel is the ideal place for Friday after-work drinks.

Spring Street is home to some of Melbourne's most exclusive residential buildings. Spring Street Towers, The Focal and Citygate to name a few. These sought after buildings encompass versatile , generous floorplans with plenty of natural light and leafy outlooks.

Feel free to pop in to our office at 299 Spring Street for directions, or a restaurant recommendation, or tram timetable. We would love to help you enjoy our special street just a little bit more.

I admit. I am bias. I walk to work. My office is at the "Paris End" of the CBD, overlooking the splendour of the Royal Exhibition Centre and Carlton Gardens. Every morning on my commute, I am grateful for Melbourne's natural beauty, its architecture and sense of community.

Melbourne is the shopping and food capital of Australia. Our beautiful arcades and laneways are bursting with hidden gems, surprising even the most educated of Melburnian. It seems every week there is a new insta-worthy bar, cocktail or a tapas dish to try, rating on top ten lists over all social networks. By the time I catch up, there is something new the influencers have already moved on to.

This is what I love about Melbourne. The evolution of the city. It comes alive at dawn, with the provisional trucks making their bustling deliveries to the restaurants of Chinatown. You can enjoy a steaming bowl of the best ramen outside of Japan at 2am, a croissant at a French patisserie for breakfast and a glass of pinot alongside your homemade terrine at the European for lunch. Catch a world-class Broadway show at the iconic Princess Theatre, run with the masses through the Botanic Gardens on the Tan. Curl up with a book in one of the most beautiful libraries in the world (my personal favourite after New York), The Victorian State Library.

Wander the cobblestone laneways to uncover a treasure trove of locally made fashion boutiques, hole in the wall restaurants and flower merchants. Melbourne is the city that keeps on giving. We have free trams in the CBD, making it easy to get around. You can jump on and off without hassle. Enjoying a footy match at the mecca of sport, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, is essential and if you are here in summer, make sure you take in a game at the Australian Open.

Melbourne is alive with everything I love about city living. Food. Art. Books. Buildings. History. Sport. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
