It's not the most salubrious end of the city for a high-end brand like St Regis. It is handy to the convention centre and casino but the other end of town like where the Shangri-La is going is definitely the more upmarket spot.

I agree, though the Mandarin Oriental won't be too far from the St. Regis either, even the new W is located in a part of Collins St that is not too lively.

Get a high floor room at the new Ritz Carlton you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the remand yard brawls. Should go nicely with evening drinks in the lounge
