Manhattan Terrace on Swanston Street is, by its own account, the only brothel in the Melbourne CBD open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year.

Discretion is clearly a selling point: there is a rear entrance via Kelvin Lane open from 7am to 6pm, plenty of parking, and a private introduction format where you meet each woman individually and discuss what you are after before deciding. Rates, rooms and facilities are published, along with a daily availability list, and there is a cheaper weekday rate between 9am and 3pm.

It runs as both a brothel and an escort agency.
