Dame is an elevated all-day dining cafe positioned as the prominent focal point at the atrium entry of Collins Place on the Paris end of Collins Street. Access from the street is straightforward: enter via the Collins Place Atrium, where Dame features a wide, step-free door for smooth, level entry. The atrium itself has multiple wide, step-free entrances under the iconic glazed canopy designed by I.M. Pei, and outdoor atrium seating is available in good weather.
Inside, the light and airy space offers a mix of seating options including standard-height tables, larger round tables by the windows with room beside them for mobility devices, communal high tables with stools, and some couch-style seating. Spacing is generally good, particularly at the window tables. An accessible toilet is available in the building lobby to the left of the lifts; it is spacious and includes a backrest. Collins Place also has a full Changing Places facility on the ground floor (accessible from the Sofitel Hotel driveway off Collins Street), equipped with a height-adjustable adult change table, ceiling track hoist, and a centrally located peninsula toilet with space for carers, open 24 hours.
Nearby accessible parking includes about seven spots—one right out front on Collins Street (if available), another further along Collins past Exhibition Street, two on Exhibition Street, and three on Spring Street. Accessible platform super stops are close by on Collins Street (around Stop 8, served by trams including 11, 12, 48 and 109), and Parliament Station is a short walk away. Overall access is excellent, making Dame a strong, inclusive option in the CBD.
