The Westin – Melbourne.
Ideally situated in Collins Street in the upper “Paris end” this hotel is ultimately located for serious shoppers or threatre goers. It has all the pros of a five star hotel, lovely foyer, trendy building ,restaurants and cocktail bars. I have stayed in Melbourne numerous times due to business, and have tried most but not all…so what I have experienced is and know what becomes important, to other travelers is this.
1)Excellent position, you are in the heart of Melbourne.
2)This hotel has a very European feel or maybe it’s just the city.
3)The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, they even remember your name as you enter at different times of the day and night.
4)Our room 439, is not what we booked, it’s a deluxe room which overlooks the street with the falling Autumn trees with a small Juliet balcony.
5)I would only book a deluxe room or studio apartment, as our room is the size as an average hotel but extremely comfortable.(supposed to be an upgrade) It has everything you should expect in a five star hotel...without mentioning them. Nice little bars/ cafes and restaurants...in a classy and very trendy atmosphere.
6)Bathrooms are very elegant, stylish and roomy with all the modern cons.
7)The pool is indoor a lap pool with a gym, sauna and steam room. In summer this could be extremely annoying if you want to capture some sunshine. (the Langham Hotel is a better bet in summer, as they have a wonderful outdoor area.)
8)The staff are a credit to this establishment.
9)It can be noisy, if you have a balcony and choose to open them but then again I liked the sound of the trams. ..and city noises. somehow it reminded me of Paris (maybe it was the avenue or the trees).
10) My suggestions are to make sure you have a deluxe room or better still 8th floor up. Do not go below the 4th floor otherwise you will have wall views.
It has prime position if you can afford it, just a few minutes walk to the shops, Federation Square, Flinders Station…it is really awesome for the position… Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensiveDirections: Five minutes to Flinders Station and a two minute walk to the CBD and shops.
