CBD base with atrium grandeur

    From modern Australian to share-style Italian, meals suit quick breaks or long catch-ups.

    A heated indoor rooftop pool pairs sweeping city views with a deep soaking hot tub.

Well priced for location and size of room but standards are slipping in small ways. The details matter at high end hotels and I’d rate the Rialto about the same as a Hilton. Tired, in need of refurbishment and mostly clean.
