Fall asleep on 42nd floor to a sea of city lights
VAQUAY Luxor In Southbank
Description
WELCOME TO LUXOR Dream beneath Klimt's glittering Kiss, where a sea of city lights stretches to the horizon and Melbourne's skyline is entirely yours. Glamorous, beautifully appointed and made for the kind of view you cancel plans for. ◈ Private glass-walled balcony above the skyline ◈ Two bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom ◈ Secure onsite parking included ◈ Woolworths Metro on ground floor ◈ French cafe opposite, Crown Casino steps away ◈ Convention Centre and Southbank dining, 5 min walk The space FORTY-TWO FLOORS UP, THE CITY IS YOURS The doors open and you stop. Forty-two floors below, Melbourne runs all the way to the horizon, the river, the towers, the lights, framed in floor-to-ceiling glass like a painting that never stops moving. Everyone who stays here says the same thing, the photos don't prepare you. And then you notice the quiet. That's the part that catches you off guard. A whole city spread out at your feet, glittering and alive, and inside barely a sound reaches you. You stand at the glass with the world on mute, and the day starts to fall away. By late afternoon you're on the glass-walled balcony with a drink, watching the light turn gold, then pink, then dark, the city switching itself on one window at a time. This is the part guests cancel their plans for. Dinner gets delivered. You stay exactly where you are. Inside, the apartment matches the drama. Dark and glamorous, every piece chosen, Klimt's gold Kiss glowing above the bed, deep seating you sink into and don't want to leave, a bed people genuinely write home about. It's the kind of styling that makes you feel like you've walked onto a film set, with the best seat in the city waiting outside. In the morning the city's still there, softer now. Coffee from the machine, a Woolworths and a little French cafe just downstairs, Crown and the river and the restaurants of Southbank a short walk from your door. You could go down and join it all. Or you could pour another coffee, carry it to the glass, and watch Melbourne wake up without you. ▶ MASTER BEDROOM ◈ Queen bed ◈ Ensuite bathroom ◈ Blackout blinds ◈ Generous built-in mirrored robes ◈ City views through floor-to-ceiling windows ◈ Portable tower fan ▶ BEDROOM 2 ◈ Queen bed ◈ 2-way ensuite (also accessible from the living area) ◈ Generous built-in mirrored robes ◈ Portable tower fan ▶ LOUNGE/LIVING + DINING ◈ Comfortable and sumptuous seating ◈ Split-system heating and cooling ◈ Dining for 4 ◈ 55" Smart TV with streaming capabilities ▶ KITCHEN ◈ Nespresso coffee machine ◈ Gas stove ◈ Oven ◈ Dishwasher ◈ Microwave ◈ Toaster ◈ Kettle ◈ ...and more ▶ BATHROOMS ◈ Two (2) full bathrooms ◈ Shower, toilet and basin ▶ LAUNDRY ◈ Washing machine ◈ Clothes dryer ◈ Laundry trough ◈ Ironing board and iron ◈ Clothes horse ▶ BALCONY ◈ Enclosed balcony with city views ◈ Extremely safe ▶ MINUT NOISE SENSOR There's a sensor inside the apartment living area.
