5 unique hotels for your Melbourne staycation

Escaping the every day doesn’t have to mean taking a flight if you live in the Victorian capital. Here are five Melbourne ‘staycation’ ideas that will leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised.

W Melbourne

The city’s first ‘luxury lifestyle hotel’ has taken up residence in Collins Arch at W Melbourne. Behind the Flinders Lane entry, bold pops of colour reflect the city’s laneway culture. And your pug or poodle is welcome to share your Cozy, Wonderful or Fabulous guestroom or suite for the night. 

NOTEL Melbourne

NOTEL takes glamping to the next level. Check-in with your smartphone to one of six luxury Airstream caravans. Perched atop a car-park rooftop, the sleek vans have everything you’d wish for. Fitted out with a queen bed and ready-to-raid minibar, not to mention a pretty spectacular view.

Lancemore Crossley St

The grit and glamour of concrete and velvet come together at the Lancemore. In the lobby, dramatic lighting hints at the surrounding theatre district. Upstairs, the 113 spacious art-filled rooms offer a luxurious retreat. And the guest-only rooftop terrace with fire pit and daybeds promises privacy. 

DoubleTree by Hilton

It’s all about the location at DoubleTree by Hilton. Opposite Flinders Street Station and moments from Fed Square, there’s a choice of river or city skyline views. Lounge in the Melbourne-inspired industrial-chic décor, showcasing local design and European features. 

QT Melbourne

With geometric patterns, sharp colours and luxe, industrial finishes, QT Melbourne oozes sophistication. Expect baths surrounded by curtains, black tiled walls and neon lights. Kick back with a G&T in the glamorous rooftop bar or new urban oasis, the Secret Garden Bar.
