Melbourne's HIGHEST Apartments: My Head in the Clouds (and Sometimes My Socks on the Floor) - A Brutally Honest Review

Okay, let's be real. I’ve been promising myself a proper Melbourne escape for ages. So, when I stumbled across the HIGHEST Apartments with those breathtaking city views – well, let's just say my credit card took a deep breath and dove right in. This is not going to be one of those perfectly polished travel blogs. This is the messy, slightly-caffeinated truth, folks. Get ready.

(Now, Let's Dive In… and Maybe Trip Over Something)

First Impressions (and Where I Tripped Up):

The building. Yeah, it's…high. Duh. The views from the outside are stunning. Gleaming glass, dominating the skyline. Inside, things get a little more…real. Getting around? The elevator is a godsend, especially after I managed to almost take a tumble on the polished lobby floor (Note to self: invest in better shoes. Or maybe just…look where I'm going).

Accessibility – A Mixed Bag (Sadly):

Okay, this is important. For a place that's ostensibly aiming for luxury, I’m a little disappointed. The facilities for disabled guests are advertised, but the details are vague. I didn’t personally need specific accommodations this time, but a more detailed description on the website would be great. Things like the elevator and facilities for disabled guests suggest at least some thought.

Rooms - My Personal Skyscraper:

Okay, this is where it started to get good. My room? Glorious. Seriously, the air conditioning was a lifesaver (Melbourne weather is a fickle beast), and the blackout curtains were crucial for sleep. They're necessary! The views, of course, lived up to the hype. I’m not sure how many times I just stared out the window, mesmerized.

Available in All Rooms: The list here is extensive: air-conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, bathroom phone (kinda pointless, let's be honest), bathtub, blackout curtains (again! Thank the gods!), carpeting, closet, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra-long bed, free bottled water, hairdryer, high floor, in-room safe box, internet access – LAN, internet access – wireless, ironing facilities. (I ironed, once. The ironing facilities were surprisingly good). Laptop workspace, linens, mini-bar, mirror, non-smoking, on-demand movies, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, scale, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, socket near the bed, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, visual alarm, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens.

I’m also thrilled that they’re a Non-smoking establishment. Although the rooms sanitized between stays, with room sanitization opt-out available, so that's a relief.

(RANT ALERT: Minor Annoyances) Okay, minor grumbles. The slippers felt a little… cheap. And I'm not sure I needed a bathroom phone. Seriously, who calls the bathroom? (Maybe I should, for this review). Oh, and the additional toilet was in a weird spot in my room.

Cleanliness & Safety – Feeling Safe (Mostly):

They are clearly taking the whole COVID thing seriously. Seriously. They have anti-viral cleaning products, hand sanitizer everywhere, and staff are clearly trained. I saw staff trained in safety protocol. The daily disinfection in common areas gave me peace of mind. They even had individually-wrapped food options (more on the food later…). CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property made me feel safe. I guess the fire extinguisher, smoke alarms, and the security [24-hour] added to that. The first aid kit is an added bonus.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – A Foodie's Playground (With a Few Stumbles):

This is where things got interesting. The options are vast. I had the Asian breakfast one morning (decent, but not mind-blowing. I prefer my bacon crispy, and their bacon was a little…sad). The Asian cuisine in restaurant looked promising, I'll have to try it. The restaurants themselves are beautifully designed. The Poolside bar was a highlight. I spent a glorious afternoon sipping something fruity and gazing at the city. The bottle of water in my room was appreciated. They also offer breakfast [buffet], they offer breakfast service, and a Buffet in restaurant, but the highlight has to be the 24-hour Room service.

The Good:

The happy hour (delicious cocktails!)
Coffee/tea in restaurant (needed. Constantly.)
Desserts in restaurant (naughty, but nice).
A la carte in restaurant (the steak was amazing).

The Okay:

Snack bar (convenient, but the selection was a little…meh).
Soup in restaurant (just…soup. Nothing remarkable).
The Salad in restaurant (safe, solid, unspectacular)
Vegetarian restaurant (I'm not, but a good sign for others)

The Meh:

Alternative meal arrangement: I didn't need it, but the concept is interesting.

Ways to Relax – Spa, Sauna, and Seriously Chill Vibes:

Okay, here we go. The spa is fantastic. I treated myself to a massage, and I could have spent the entire day there. The sauna and steamroom were a glorious escape. The pool with view is as epic as you imagine. They also offer a foot bath. I’m still pondering how to get a body scrub and body wrap into my busy schedule.

Fitness Center - Attempted Exercise (and Some Serious Regret):

I, uh, attempted the Fitness center. Okay, I walked in. I looked at the equipment. I turned around. Let's just say my idea of a workout is a brisk walk to the coffee shop. The gym/fitness is well-equipped though, for those who are actually into that sort of thing.

Services and Conveniences – The Little Things (and the Slightly Less Little Things):

They really do try to think of everything. The concierge was helpful, the dry cleaning and laundry service were lifesavers. The daily housekeeping was much appreciated, even if I did make a mess. The currency exchange was handy. The meeting/banquet facilities are there if you need them (I didn't). They have a convenience store, though I didn’t need a gift/souvenir shop.

The air conditioning in public area.
Audio-visual equipment for special events.
Business facilities, I didn't use a thing, but the list is pretty broad and complete like, contactless check-in/out, cash withdrawal, daily housekeeping, doorman, elevator, essential condiments, facilities for disabled guests, food delivery, gift/souvenir shop, indoor venue for special events, invoice provided, ironing service, luggage storage, meetings, meeting stationery, on-site event hosting, outdoor venue for special events, projector/LED display, safety deposit boxes, seminars, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.

Getting Around – Taxi, Uber, or Just…Walk?

The location is perfect. Everything is walkable, and there’s tons of bicycle parking. Airport transfer is available. I took my own car and had a car park [on-site]. The car park [free of charge] isn’t a thing, so that's good to know before you go!

(The Imperfections – Because Nothing is Perfect… Especially Not Me):

Okay, let’s be real. It wasn’t all perfect. Here’s where things got a little…wonky.

Internet: Great Wi-Fi [free] in the rooms, but the Internet [LAN] (wired) was unnecessary.
Services: I'm not sure how a Shrine fits into a modern hotel. I didn't see one. I'd say most people would not feel the need for such a thing, the service isn't even a

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average, perfectly curated travel itinerary. This is… me in Melbourne, at Hiigh Apartments. Actually living it. Prepare for glorious chaos.

Hiigh Apartments, Melbourne: A Hot Mess (and I mean that in the best way possible) - Itinerary (Subject to Utter Change, Obviously)

Day 1: Arrival & Apartment Intimidation (And a Dash of "What Have I Done?")

Morning (or whenever the heck I manage to drag myself out of bed): Flight lands. Yikes. The sheer scale of airports always makes me feel like a tiny, flailing insect. Then there's lugging my suitcase, a monstrous, guilt-ridden beast filled with things I thought I’d need. Uber ride to Hiigh. Hopefully, the driver doesn't mind my panicked, "Am I going the right way?" questions.
Afternoon: First impressions of the apartment. “Oh wow, it's… slick.” (I can already picture myself spilling something on that pristine white couch). Unpack. Fail to fully utilize the fancy coffee machine because I'm an instant-coffee kinda gal. Contemplate the view of the city. Feel a tiny, unwelcome pang of loneliness. (Travel solo, remember? Still working on the "embracing solitude" thing.)
Evening: Attempt to find my way around. Get gloriously, hilariously lost and end up wandering down a laneway, probably the wrong one, and accidentally stumble upon a hidden bar. (Melbourne, you sneaky temptress!) Order a gin and tonic. Watch the locals. Decide everyone is infinitely cooler than me. Secretly love it.
Late Night: Back at the apartment, exhausted but buzzing. Scroll through Instagram, filled with envy-inducing photos of perfectly-Instagrammable cafes. Vow (again) to become a better photographer. Fail. Order a pizza. It's never too late to start living an imperfect life.

Day 2: Culture Clash & Coffee Catastrophe

Morning: Wake up with way too many thoughts. Try to feel the place. Today, the goal is to visit Federartion Square and the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria). Attempt to look cultured. Fail gracefully. Get lost in the art… and also, literally, in the maze-like hallways of the NGV.
Afternoon: Lunch. Find a recommended cafe. (Yikes, the prices! Should've packed more instant noodles). Order a latte (I’m trying to be a good tourist). Observe the barista’s impressive latte art. Mine arrives, looking as though a small furry animal has… well, you get the picture. Sigh. Embrace the imperfection.
Late Afternoon: Stroll along the Yarra River. Observe the river. Watch it. The water is surprisingly… murky. Try to appreciate the beauty of the city in a "deep, meaningful way." End up taking photos of a dog chasing a frisbee. Priorities, people.
Evening: Head to a bar for a pre-dinner drink. Get chatting to a local. Get excited and speak too fast, probably revealing way too much about myself. Realize they're probably just being polite. Drink more and enjoy the company.
Late Night Back at the apartment, I'm in my element. I sit on said couch, with my phone in hand. I feel as though I'm finally resting.

Day 3: The Great (Accidental) Food Tour & The "I'm Definitely Not a Tourist Anymore" Phase

Morning: Decide to be adventurous. (AKA, step outside my comfort zone, which, let's be honest, is a well-worn pair of sweatpants). Find a local market. Get overwhelmed by the smells, the sounds, the sheer amount of… everything. Buy a weird-looking fruit. Have no idea how to eat it. End up covered in juice. (See? Adventure!)
Afternoon: Accidentally turn an initial "quick snack stop" into a full-blown food tour. Dive headfirst into a world of dim sum, Vietnamese rolls, and (because, Melbourne) a ridiculously decadent dessert. Begin to feel a sense of belonging. Maybe I'm not so lost after all. Maybe I'm just exploring.
Late Afternoon: Go to a rooftop bar and enjoy the sun. I'm feeling good today.
Evening: Get dressed in my "I'm cool" outfit. Go to a jazz club. The music is fantastic. The vibe is intoxicating. The people are amazing. Dance badly. Don't care.
Late Night: Back at the apartment, I'm tired. I'm full. I'm buzzing. I'm also, surprisingly, happy. Start to feel a sense of place.

Day 4: The Eureka Tower & Sudden Existential Crisis (Plus Shopping… Obviously)

Morning: Conquer the Eureka Tower. (Height… a bit of a problem for me). The view is spectacular, I admit. It's also slightly terrifying. Question all my life choices. Briefly consider moving to Melbourne permanently. Talk myself out of it.
Afternoon: Retail therapy. Find a quirky independent bookstore. Buy a book I'll probably never read. (But the cover was pretty!). The sheer number of shops in Melbourne is overwhelming. I need a break.
Late Afternoon: Go back the apartment. Contemplate the view. Spend more time in the apartment.
Evening: Find a place to eat dinner and go for a casual night in the city. Enjoy the moment.
Late Night: Back at the apartment. Today was a success. I'm finally starting to fit in. I feel at home.

Day 5: Departure & The "I'll Be Back!" Vow

Morning: Last chance to soak up the city. Grab a final coffee (hopefully, this one will be a success!). Walk the streets one last time. Say goodbye to places.
Afternoon: Pack (again). Do all the last things. Look back at my messy travel journal. Take some photos to remember the time.
Evening: Uber to the airport. Feel the familiar pang of separation. Make a promise to myself: "I'll be back, Melbourne. I'll be back."
Late Night: Board the plane. Look back and stare at the stars.
Reflate: The Hiigh Apartments was a great place to stay, I had a wonderful time.

Important Notes (and Disclaimer):

This itinerary is a suggestion. You are absolutely, completely, and utterly encouraged to deviate. Get lost. Get side-tracked. Make mistakes. Embrace the chaos.
Melbourne is full of surprises. Be open to them. They might be amazing. They might be disastrous. Either way, they'll be a story.
My language is… well, it's me. Apologies in advance if I offend anyone.
Most importantly: Have fun. And don't forget to drink coffee. (Even if it looks like a furry animal attacked it.)

So, You Wanna Live Up High? Let's Talk Melbourne Apartments. (Brace Yourself.)

Okay, Okay, What ARE the Tallest Actually? I Keep Hearing Different Things!

Alright, this is the question that *always* comes up. And honestly? It’s a moving target. The highest, highest, *highest* is always shifting, because Melbourne's a city of building, constantly reaching for the sky! But as of… well, right now (and Google the exact latest, because again, things change!), you're probably looking at things like the Australia 108 and Eureka Tower. And boy, are they impressive. Used to be you'd be talking about the Eureka… now there's a whole new game on the other side of the Yarra. Seriously, you could probably build a whole new city in the time it takes to read this FAQ.

My advice? Don't get hung up on the exact meter count. It's about the view, darling, the *view*!

The View - That's What I'm Here For. Is It REALLY Breathtaking? Or Hype?

Okay, okay, here's the truth, *straight from the heart* - it depends. On the weather. (Melbourne, right?) On your tolerance for heights. And on your definition of "breathtaking."

I once visited a friend in a high-up apartment. We were there during a proper Melbourne storm. Lightning cracked, the wind howled... and for a moment? Yeah. It *was* breathtaking. Terrifying, but breathtaking. Made me feel like I was on the prow of a very tall, very luxurious ship, sailing through a black ocean. But on a sun-drenched day? It's beautiful, sure. You can see *everything*. The MCG, the Dandenongs, the tiny little ant-people bustling below. But… "breathtaking"? Maybe a gentle inhale, more than a gasp. Don't expect to be perpetually overwhelmed. You'll get used to it. And then you'll start complaining about the cost of the *cleaning* bills for those massive windows. (Trust me.)

And then there are the *sunsets*. Those, my friends, can be properly breathtaking. Worth the price of admission (and the vertigo).

What's the Biggest Drawback? Besides, you know, the obvious "it costs a fortune" thing...

Besides the fact that you could probably buy a small island nation for what some of these places cost? (Okay, I'm exaggerating... a little.) The *biggest* thing, and something nobody really tells you until you're staring down from the 70th floor, is... well, it’s isolation. You're physically closer to people, but socially... sometimes you feel a world away. Think about it: you're getting a lift, you’re often living in a 'bubble', and your local pub is... another fancy restaurant. You can't just nip down the street to grab milk. You're dependent on lifts, which, let's be honest, sometimes have a mind of their own. And, oh god, the *wind*. The higher up you go, the more you're buffeted around by the elements. Sometimes, it's like living in a giant wind tunnel!

I remember once, I was visiting a friend in one of them, and the wind was so bad that the *doorknobs* were rattling. Rattling! And the air conditioning...it’s crazy powerful, you're always slightly too cold/too hot. Seriously, pack a sweater *and* a fan. It's a whole other climate up there.

Finally, the sheer logistics of it all. Moving in? Moving out? Forget it. You’ll be at the mercy of the building's rules, and I've heard some horror stories about waiting lists for moving days and lift availability. Forget about spontaneous furniture purchases!

Are the Amenities Worth It? Pool? Gym? Concierge? (Sounds fancy!)

Listen, the amenities are *designed* to lure you in. That glistening infinity pool with panoramic views? The state-of-the-art gym with floor-to-ceiling windows? The white-gloved concierge? They are seriously tempting.

And yeah, sometimes they're fantastic. The gym can be a real motivator (especially when you *know* people are watching you do your squats... that doesn't exactly help my intimidation problems but still...). The pool, on a hot summer day, is pure heaven. The concierge… well, I guess having someone take your dry cleaning *is* a luxury. But be realistic. Are you *actually* going to use them? Or are you going to use them for a week and then lapse into a comfortable routine of Netflix and instant noodles? (No judgment, just honest self-assessment). Plus, these amenities often come with a hefty body corporate fee. Think of it this way… are you *paying* for the privilege of feeling superior? (Kidding... mostly.)

What's the "Vibe" Really Like? Is it all sleek suits and champagne?

Okay, here’s the reality check. It *can* be all sleek suits and champagne. And sometimes, it *is*. But it's also a blend of… everything. You’ve got the finance types, the young professionals, the retirees, and sometimes… just regular people who scraped together enough money. It's a microcosm of Melbourne, really. It's a mix.

And look, there's always a little bit of social pressure. When that person on the 60th floor knows your name and you’re eating out of a container from the deli, you do wish you had some better serving ware. But the truth is, people are just trying to live their lives. Some are friendly, others are… well, it’s Melbourne, you know? You can often get a good sense of them by watching a lift ride... the eyes darting around. And there will always be the occasional overly-enthusiastic neighbour who wants to become *best friends*.

And the parties! Let's just say, they're often *loud*. And the noise travels, oh boy, does the noise travel. You'll learn the sound profiles of different parties, the highs, the lows. Prepare for late-night dance-offs in the lift lobby, and the constant background hum of the city mingled with… well, everything. Expect the unexpected.

Is It WORTH IT? Seriously. Is the High-Life, Worth the… Life?

Okay, the big question. The one that keeps me up at night… sometimes. Is it worth it? The answer, as always, is... it depends. For some people, absolutely. They thrive on the views, the convenience (despite what I said!), the lifestyle.Hanoi's HOTTEST 2BR: Vinhomes Skylake Luxury Near Keangnam!
