Whether you\u2019re here to fist pump at the latest Riverstage gig, shop up a storm on Queen Street Mall, sample some culinary goodies from a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gourmettraveller.com.au\/restaurants\/restaurant-news-features\/2013\/8\/gourmet-traveller-2014-restaurant-guide-the-top-100\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u2018Top 100 Aussie Restaurant\u2019<\/a>, or just overnighting for your next big work conference, whatever the occasion, Royal on the Park will have you a short walk from A to B.<\/p>\n<p>Not ready to dust off your walking shoes from last spring? No worries. Royal on the Park has an on-site car park which you (or the valet) can take advantage of.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Room \u2013 Luxury Spa Suite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Move over Queen Lizzie! It\u2019s time to settle into the Luxury Spa Suite, and let me assure you, it\u2019s royal, it\u2019s big, and it\u2019s worth every penny! Spanning the full width of the hotel (yep, the entire width of the hotel) you can curtsy (or cartwheel) your way down the hall from lounge room to bedroom. This inner city hotel knows how to maximise space, not matchbox it.<\/p>\n<p>Fitted with luxury furnishings and an oh-so-comfy king sized bed, there is no skimping out here. Oh, and let\u2019s not forget the view.
