Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"How did it strike you on arrival? Its location at the "Paris end" of tree-lined Collins Street, surrounded by luxury retail and historic buildings, gives this particular Sofitel an added injection of French chic. Nice. What’s the crowd like? European travelers, old-money Australians, locals catching shows at the nearby theaters. How was check in? The hotel is set on the upper floors of a 50-story tower, and there's a standalone elevator from street level to the lobby. Elevator service inside the hotel proper can become slow when all 363 guest rooms are full. The good stuff: Tell us about your room. These are well-maintained and well-appointed luxury-chain rooms, although the smallest room class does feel a little tight for two. The elevated views of Melbourne are a highlight (it's worth paying extra for a corner room to see even more), and there are tubs in every bathroom. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Anything you noticed? The $30 Wi-Fi fee is galling, even by Australian standards. Noted. Room service and food: Worth it? In the lobby, the gently buzzing Sofi's Lounge does coffee and evening cocktails. For a more dressed-up drinks experience (with city views), the hotel's Atrium Bar opens at 5 p.m.—it serves light meals, too. There's also a fine-dining restaurant, No35, which is reliably French. An eclectic, pricey buffet breakfast at No35 kicks off at 6:30 a.m. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you. The hotel is set directly above Collins Place, a small, independent mall with decent shopping options and the charming Kino arthouse cinema. The French luxury houses and Melbourne's best-curated clothes boutiques are within a short stroll. Bottom line: worth it, and why? The Paris end of Collins Street is Melbourne at its most elegant, and this true-to-brand Sofitel property fits in seamlessly." - Dan F. Stapleton

We stayed at the Sofitel on Collins for our wedding night and couldn’t be more impressed. The team went above and beyond to make the night feel truly special. This hotel is seriously underrated. The service was exceptional — warm, attentive, and professional. The rooms felt luxurious and were spotless. The breakfast was also a highlight: delicious, with plenty of options. The location was ideal — central yet quiet, away from the hustle of the busy streets. Even the next morning, when we were waiting to be picked up, the staff brought out chilled water to keep us refreshed — such a small gesture but it really stood out. We felt genuinely looked after from start to finish, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

From the moment we arrived Kunga at reception was professional and welcoming. Housekeeping was amazing. I loved the little touches of turn down service and the different teas to relax at night. Breakfast was great Vivienne the breakfast chef cooked an amazing breakfast. We look forward to our next visit.

The hotel is located in Melbourne city itself. It’s located within the free tram service of 11 & 48. Estimated 10 to 15mins walking distance to Parliament metro station. Stayed at level 48 facing the stadium and Fitzroy garden. You will be expecting to wake up to a lovely sunrise every morning. Convenient. To travel along the city either via tram or walking. Walking distance to the art gallery, state library and all. The staffs have been accommodating and always ready to answer your questions. Shoutout to the staff Lein and I can’t remember what the staff’s name at the the ground floor lobby. Room service has been good. Love the welcome card and fruit platter provided by the hotel( though I can’t finish). Thank you for making my stay in Melbourne comfortable and will definitely come back soon!

My two night stay was for work, the location was perfect as it was within walking distance. From the moment we arrived, we were met by the friendly and attentive staff; car park attendants, check in, concierge, housekeeping and bar staff. Business trips can be stressful, the coziness of my room allowed for me retreat, turn off and relax. The little extras of having your bed turned down, gentle lighting, window shutters for complete privacy, herbal teas, left me feeling well rested Sunday morning. Thank you.

Fantastic view. Great location for access to public transport, the city, and walking around. Lovely big room with big bathroom. Shower over bath which is not ideal. Very comfortable bed. Staff were excellent, with every interaction, being friendly, helpful, very professional, just delightful. Took advantage of the lounge which was lovely. The best coffee. Yummy breakfast. Again, staff were excellent. Nothing not to love here. Will stay again.

My wife and I had a fantastic stay for our one year anniversary. The staff were lovely and accommodating, the buffet breakfast at No35 was lovely, the location is perfect for getting around Melbourne and we had a beautiful view of the city from our room. We will be coming back for another special trip in the future. Thank you Sofitel team for making our first year celebration one to remember (for all of the right reasons)

We stayed at Sofitel Melbourne on Collins in early 2025, and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, the concierge team and Manager Dan made us feel genuinely welcome, adding a personal touch that really elevated our stay. The hotel is elegant and comfortable, with stunning views from the room and a fantastic breakfast selection. Most of the staff were attentive and lovely throughout. That said, we did encounter one breakfast waitress—tall, with light hair and a fair complexion—who came across as noticeably impatient and dismissive on two separate mornings. Still, it was a minor issue in what was otherwise a relaxing and high-quality experience. We left with great memories and a real appreciation for the care and service throughout our stay. We’d definitely consider coming back for a future trip!

From a warm arrival to the early check in, the corner room, the turn down service, house keeping so impeccable, the thoughtful service at breakfast to the pianist playing over the weekend in the lobby. It’s a beautiful escape to feel pampered. The gym is great quality with an amazing view although I admit one visit got a bit distracted by me deciding to use the massage chair first (which was also great). Thank you everyone for a wonderfully warm stay.
