A guide to Melbourne accommodation, Melbourne hotels, Melbourne B&Bs and more.
Upon arriving in Melbourne, also referred to as the “Garden City” of Australia, many are pleasantly surprised by the many things to do and the great shopping possibilities in the city.
While there are numerous attractions present in the city, there are just as many hotels and resorts to help cover your Melbourne accommodation needs.
In Melbourne, you will find that the visitors are in the city for both business and pleasure.
Often, the business turns into pleasure after realizing all of the exciting activities that one can partake in.
Top End Melbourne Accommodation
The Windsor and the Royce are both five star resorts located in Melbourne, and are among the most luxurious accommodations in the city. Along the same route is the Park Hyatt and several other hotels with the same ranking. Each one is unique in its own way with excellent customer service and endless amenities. While many people wish to save their money for more important things like shopping or extravagant dining, others pay the larger hotel bill in order to experience the luxury of a five star hotel.
Luxury Services
The swimming pools are warmer and larger, as well as the fitness amenities. A favorite at many resorts is the plush bath robes in the bathroom and complimentary champagne at the check-in desk. Many hotels are located along the Yarra River, which also has a fire-ball presentation in the evenings. Request a suite, because they are usually the rooms that are located on the side of the buildings closest to the Yarra River. Depending on the hotel of your choice, many have specialty concierge services such as automatic shoe shine service, 24 hour room service, grocery delivery, and other luxurious amenities.
Crown Casino
Also along the banks of the Yarra River is the Crown Casino. This is usually the top tourist destination for all visitors staying in one of the close-by accommodations. Within steps of most lobby doors, the casino offers dining, entertainment, and of course gaming. The main area for gaming is half kilometre long, with numerous themed rooms that are separate from the main area.
The casino is located in the heart of Melbourne, which is coincidentally where most of the five star resorts are located as well. The casino is also the home to 2 five star hotels, offering affordable accommodations. Close to the Crown Casino and resorts is the highly renowned Melbourne Aquarium and fine dining. Also nearby are shopping locations that range in style, from high fashion boutiques to a farmers market.
If you are searching for Melbourne accommodation for business, then be prepared to change your reason for your visit to pleasure.
Those who have frequented Melbourne can verify that the exciting atmosphere is addictive.
The five star accommodations also help to set the mood, and the amenities are usually endless.
Take a dip in one of the heated swimming pools, sun bathe on the outdoor decks, and then end the evening at one of the hotel’s restaurants or at one of the many beautiful restaurants in the city!
