Mietta's Review
The North Fitzroy Star hotel was once Lord Jim's. It is tucked away in the cut off section of St Georges Rd, North Fitzroy. The interior seems to go on and on, secret corners, formal dining areas, cosy bar and a small paved courtyard. The Star offers rooms for all moods and occasions. Perfect for a coffee in front of the fire, cocktail at the bar, a three course meal in the Victorian dining room or be cool and hang out around the communal table.
