Great City Hotel

Celebrated my birthday, by booking a room here. Really nice hotel, clean, slick, modern. Fabulous indoor pool and gym facilities, on third floor. I booked a 'corner' room, which guarantees you WILL get a great view of Melbourne and not just through one window, but two! On 16th, out of 23 floors. Very spacious room, king size bed, desk, tv & play station (!) mini bar, lounge chairs, huge bathroom with shower, broadband internet ($25AU per day), coffee & tea making facilities, phone, large double wardrobe. Online prices were way cheaper, using Crown's website, than actually phoning hotel & booking, (I checked 1st), or using other hotel websites! Make sure you shop around for a good price. Valet parking (you have to pay extra to park, for each 24 hrs your vehicle is there, but the price was good), quick, easy check in and good concierge facilities/knowledge. Mesh restaurant available on site, for all meals (& room service) & a cocktail bar, right next to that. Only had breakfast at Mesh, but it was great. Good range and nice hot choices too, not soggy or dry, but just right. Brekky to 11am. Cocktails at the bar are basically at same as regular bar prices, so no surprises there and good range of cocktails/wines/beers. Only 5 tables outside the cocktail bar, but when it's hot in Melbourne, you want to be in the airconditioned area, anyway! Overall, I can highly recommend this hotel. Oh, and it's right across the road, from the Crown Casino & Hotel, 1 block from Southbank and the Yarra River.

Unique Quality: The pool here is just wonderful.
Large pool, plenty of lounge/deck chairs, sunny outside areas to tan yourself, but the pool itself is indoors. You have to use your electronic key to enter and then sign in and out, but that, to me, is a good safety feature. Staff at desk, check again, to make sure you are a guest. One girl tried to sneak in with us "Ooops, I forgot my key!" which made us suspicious, but the staff picked it up, straight away and she beat a hasty retreat.

Concierges are very polite and helpful and tip worthy!

This location is close to everything Melbourne has to offer.

Luxury at its best.

The Crown Towers is located on the Yarra River at Southbank. Our room 1725 was called a deluxe King Size Corner room which was luxurious with sweeping views of the river and the city skyline.

The hotel is huge which can be slightly impersonal but the service of every staff took away any aloof or cold feelings.

Check in was fast and efficient.

Our room was super spacious with a king size bed, massive plasma TV, working desk, well stocked mini bar, sofa chair plus ottoman, and a very sweet bay window settee. You can watch the gas fireworks from the window which I really enjoyed.

The bathroom was enormous with separate spa bath, shower, toilet and wonderful fluffy towels and toiletries.

The best thing about the Crown is all the fabulous restaurants at your doorstep. You literally have the BEST restaurants in Melbourne within easy walking distance. One could have a ball dining through these top establishments; however you would need to be cashed up, as all are very expensive.

A cool spacious indoor swimming pool is located on the 2nd floor with an attached spa. One does however wonder why they didn’t incorporate an outdoor swimming pool as the pool area is attached to the tennis courts which could literally fit another two 50metre swimming pools on the roof top.

The Casino is also at your doorstep which offers gamblers a little piece of heaven, with blackjack, roulette and a thousand pokies machines supplied.

Unique Quality: Overall – We have stayed at numerous 5 star hotels in Melbourne and to me the Crowne offered a touch more with their facilities at their fingertips. It’s in a fabulous position only a short walk across the bridge to Flinders Street Station and the CBD.
I have given this hotel 5 star for a 5 star hotel.

Favourite Restaurants – Rockpool – Contemporary.
Silks - Chinese
Nobu - Japanese

Crown Casino access!

Unique Quality: The Crown Promenade is a fantastic upscale hotel located in the heart of Melbourne and is connected by skywalk to the Crown Club Casino - the largest casino in the southern hemisphere. This property has everything you could want - good service, great amenities, spa, pool, restaurants, & entertainment. The interior decor definitely complements the gaming atmosphere...dark with Vegas-style lighting and fountains. This is a perfect property if you want to be in the heart of it all and have easy access to the casino.

Crown Promenade

Nothing to complain about at this hotel. It's very conveniently located opposite the Crown Casino with a covered footbridge linking it. Absolutely perfect if you're going to a function there as we did.
Valet parking for 24 hours was included in our package deal along with a buffet breakfast.
After checking lots of different last minute booking sites we got the best deal by booking through the Crown Promenade website.

Unique Quality: We stayed on the 19th floor. Views were great looking out towards the Bay.
