Staycation Ideas In Melbourne

A little break in the city can be just what the doctor ordered. Without spending a lot of money or time away from home, you can take a break from the stresses of everyday life.

Maybe it's for a weekend away with the girls or a special romantic event. Maybe you want to try out the buzzy new hotel in town that you've heard so much about. The point is, you can rely on Melbourne to have a staycation for every occasion. Here are our favourites.

Marriott Hotel

We aimed to be within walking distance of some of the city's best eateries, art galleries, and boutiques bars that Melbourne offers but are unable to do so because to time constraints. We were able to get a room at the Marriott Hotel with the help of our AMEX membership; it was an ideal location for our getaway. Ideally situated in the middle of the theatre district, and shopping precinct of Melbourne,

Not only did we choose this 5-star hotel because of its convenient and handy location, but also because of the unique boutique atmosphere it offered.

On our first day there, we were treated to a high tea, a delicious breakfast, and in-room dining. The hotel room had many luxury facilities, such as a minibar, walk-in closet, and Wi-Fi internet connection. After our wine tasting at the chic Elements Lounge and Bar, we relaxed in the Executive Lounge.

W Melbourne

W Melbourne, located in Collins Arch, is the first 'luxury lifestyle hotel' in Melbourne. Bold splashes of colour behind the Collingwood Lane entrance represent the city's laneway lifestyle. Your canine companion is more than welcome to spend the night in the Comfortable, Wonderful, or Fabulous hotel or suite you've reserved. The king-size beds are worth the price, and the minibar with alcoholic beverages is a nice touch. You can stay out of the bowling alleys later thanks to the three on-site dining options and two drinking establishments. Try Adam D'Sylva Lollo's creative cuisine, Curious in the basement, or level 14's poolside beverages with a view.

Adelphi Hotel

If you have a sugar tooth, you should stay at this boutique hotel. The Adelphi's prime position in the lively Flinders Avenue shopping and dining sector makes it an ideal base from which to discover the city. Enjoy the positive energy, helpful staff, and stylish decor at this five-star hotel.

The hotel's posh dessert bar, Om Nom, is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Take in the sights of the city from the hotel's famed rooftop pool and deck, relax on the hotel's signature swinging chairs in the lobby, and enjoy free minibar food while watching an interminable movie. To have a charming weekend away from home, the Adelphi is ideal.

A chic rooftop bar and a relaxing atmosphere are must-haves for any girls' weekend staycation. So, fortunately, the Adelphi Hotel provides all of this and much more. This hotel screams feminism from its zigzag floor patterning to its pool and rooftop balcony, where guests may relax with a drink in hand.

Emporium Melbourne

Once settled into our luxurious accommodation, the perfect place to start was Emporium Melbourne, the central business district's largest designer precinct in Australia.

The neighbourhood is home to both established and up-and-coming designers from around the world, as well as cutting-edge concept and flagship businesses, and stunning architecture. We were pleased to discover that Emporium stocked not only one, but several of our favourite fashion lines, including Wonderland McCall, Sass & Buy time, Kookai, Mimco, CK, Calibre, and Hugo Boss. Using AMEX made things so much simpler, as we earned superior points and benefits on every purchase.

DoubleTree by Hilton

At DoubleTree by Hilton, location is king. You may choose between river and city skyline views, and it's just next to Flinders Street Area and Fed Square. Relax in the industrial-chic furnishings, which take their cue from Melbourne and contain both Australian and European influences. Then walk around the corner for some great local fare. Places like Degraves Espresso for a cup of coffee and Clementine's for unique gifts handcrafted right here in town.

The Blackman's convenient location outside the central business district (CBD) and the hotel's own bike rental service make it an excellent starting point for discovering the city's various attractions. Fans of the Alice in Wonderland stories will adore staying in this whimsical establishment.

QT Melbourne

Staycations in Melbourne aren't complete without a visit to the boutique QT hotel, which boasts one of the city's greatest rooftops and is a popular attraction in its own right.

Dining is another delight, with Sicilian and Singapore heritages mixing at La Madonna bar and eatery.

An great beverage list complemented the perfectly cooked and presented food, and we were set in a quiet dining room with tasteful decor.

Eau De Vie

The night ended with a visit to the posh Eau De Vie club. A secret entrance is the first step in the underground operation, which leads to a realm of bourbon, cheese, and jazz.

Hotel Windsor

Luxury travel was once the exclusive domain of the very wealthy, and the very rich stayed at stately hotels. The Hotel Windsor is a prime example of a landmark that has been painstakingly conserved to ensure that its elegant atmosphere may be enjoyed by modern guests.

Queen Victoria Market

We had breakfast at the motel the next morning before seeing Melbourne's iconic Queen Victoria Market. We shopped, dined, and discovered our way around the historic food halls and vintage sheds, where the conversation was just as lively as the fruit.

Taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of QVM, the largest marketplace in the Southern Hemisphere, is an experience unlike any other. The Biennial Lab, curated by Natalie King and located within Queen Victoria Market, features the work of eight artists who investigate one of Australia's most recognisable landmarks through the mediums of thought-provoking installations, stop-motion animation, and a permanent radio broadcast from Queen Street.
