The 6 Best Hotels in Melbourne

"Housed in a building established in 1880, this historic three-star hotel has a traditional, grand feel with Art Deco décor in the lobby and restaurant; the restaurant offers a breakfast buffet as well as lunch and dinner. The property provides useful amenities like a fitness center, a heated plunge pool, and a sauna, and the rooms are simple, comfortable, and minimalist to maximize space. I appreciate that there are single rooms for budget-conscious solo travelers; rooms include a flatscreen TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, a mini-fridge, and a small workspace, and bathrooms are clean with either a walk-in shower or a shower/tub combination. I think it’s the best option for travelers looking for a comfortable, budget-friendly stay in the city center." - Matthew Kepnes
