Melbourne Featured Hotels

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria and Australia's second-largest city, set around Port Phillip Bay in the southeast. Often described as the cultural and culinary capital of the country, it is known for its laneway coffee culture, street art, four-trams-deep CBD grid, and major annual events including the Australian Open and the AFL Grand Final.

Distinct neighbourhoods - Fitzroy and Collingwood for design and live music, Carlton for Italian heritage, St Kilda for the beach and nightlife, Brunswick for craft beer - give the city a strong local identity. The Great Ocean Road, the wineries of the Yarra Valley, the Mornington Peninsula, and the penguins of Phillip Island are all easy day or weekend trips.
