Cutting-edge technology and a wealth of modern comforts make the 40-storey tower the perfect launchpad for exploring Melbourne’s countless alleys, galleries and boutiques. Bet it all on black at Crown Casino, only a ten-minute wander away, hunt for bargains at South Wharf’s direct factory outlets or visit the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, located just across the road. Melbourne CBD’s lattes and laneways are a short tram trip away, and families will love the hotel’s proximity to historical South Melbourne Market, serving handmade crafts, the finest French patisserie and the country’s most famous dim sims four times weekly.
