The most outstanding features of this small pleasurepalace are the reception hall and the hammam, both richly decorated with figurative murals that reflect the secular art of the time.
Melbourne's St Kilda has stayed true to its Victorian pleasurepalace roots, with a melancholy pier to stroll by day, and bars, restaurants and live music at pubs like The Prince (2 Acland St) and the Espy (11 The Esplanade) for after dark.
