Melbourne CBD accommodation

There are many types of Melbourne CBD accommodation:

1) You can get budget accommodation right in the heart of Melbourne,

2) There are many world-class hotels within the Melbourne city grid,

3) You can find a Melbourne serviced apartment , or

4) Enjoy luxury accommodation in a Melbourne boutique hotel.

The advantage of CBD accommodation is that you are in the heart of this cosmopolitan pulse. I find Melbourne a pleasant city to be in – there is no need to get away.


Melbourne is a planned city with wide Victorian-era streetscapes and historic buildings, ultra modern skyscrapers, intimate laneways and art on street corners.

Yet, it is also a rich melting pot many cultures. The CBD is made up of precincts. There is the Greek Quarter around Lonsdale Street, Chinatown in little Bourke Street, and the Paris End of Collins Street and the galleries of Flinders Lane.

Then there are Melbourne’s intimate lanes and historic arcades where you can lose yourself, have the distinct Melbourne shopping experience in chic boutiques, a latte in a laneway cafés, enjoy some of Australia’s best eating, or have a drink in one of the trendy bars – or get pampered in one of the city’s well-known spas.

Then there are the cinemas and theatres, as well as museums and galleries – enough to do for a while. For relaxation, take a stroll along the Yarra River or visit the botanical gardens only minutes from the CBD.


All in all, Melbourne city accommodation is an attractive option if you enjoy the buzz of city life.

If you are after more relaxation or travelling with family I would recommend a serviced apartment or hotel near the beach.
