Melbourne Hotels

Cheap Melbourne Hotel

The capital of Victoria and the second biggest city in Australia, Melbourne is a city of art, culture, entertainment, and expansive parks and gardens. Melbourne also has a distinct blend of contemporary and Victorian architecture which can be seen in several Melbourne hotels.

Where to Start

A unique and fascinating way to get your bearings before exploring Melbourne is to head up to the Rialto Towers to the Rialto Observation Deck. Built in 1982, the deck offers unrivalled panoramic views of Melbourne hotels, the CBD, and gardens.

Federation Square is a prominent meeting place that can hold up to 10,000 people. Some of the biggest draws to Federation Square include the Melbourne Visitor Centre (MVC) – which provides comprehensive information on almost every sight of interest in the Victoria area, the impressive glass and metal structure of The Atrium, and the many Melbourne hotels, cafes, bars and restaurants which line the square.

Top Attractions

Queen Victoria Market is both a cultural shopping Mecca and a historical landmark. Attracting tourists and locals alike, the seven-acre market is the largest of its type in the southern hemisphere, and has been open for business for over 120 years. It is relatively accessible from most Melbourne hotels and boasts over 1,000 stores to choose from.

Museum Victoria runs four separate museums around the city, of which Melbourne Museum is the largest, containing over 16 million items relating to Australian society, Indigenous history, science and technology. Scienceworks Museum, Melbourne Planetarium and the Immigration Museum make up the quartet, all easily accessible from most Melbourne hotels.

Animal lovers are spoilt for choice in the city, with both the Melbourne Zoo and the Melbourne Aquarium fine examples of their ilk. The former is Australia’s oldest zoo and contains over 350 species from around the world, while the aquarium is ideally positioned just a short distance from Melbourne hotels in the city centre.
