Gourmet Traveller: Australia's best hotels, from basic but wonderful to blowing the budget

Where can you have a great massage and the best club sandwich? Gourmet Traveller has named what it believes to be the nation’s best resorts

Luxury hotels! Is there anything more sublime and wasteful to spend money on? After the money’s spent, all that remains of the experience is pilfered stationery and the scent of Jo Malone bubblebath.

But then the best hotel rooms are so good you don’t want to leave, instead staying forever, ordering in room service and lolling about in sheets with a thread count that matches the rack rate and bathrobes as fluffy as roof insulation.
