“My wife and I stayed at The Crown Plaza Melbourne for 4 days. The hotel is wonderful from all regards, and the location is truly unique.

The Crown Plaza Melbourne is located on the Yarra River in Melbourne CBD and the river is a marvel in itself, with walkways, urban art, foot bridges and restaurants lining the river, and of course Melbourne’s famous casino – Crown Casino (not related to the hotel!).

The hotel is shaped like a horseshoe jutting out over the river, and oddly is the only structure apart from the bridges which occupies space over the river, all other buildings are set-back including the higher priced hotels. All rooms at the front side face the river and views are expansive over the river district and beyond.

Staying here puts you right at the heart of the action in Melbourne, only moments walk from all the prime attractions of the city.  Couldn’t recommend the hotel more. Hope you get there!”

“As if the location of the hotel, in the heart of Sydney’s Rocks, is not good enough, this is the view that may greet you. Watch the sun come up over the Harbour and the Opera House, maybe see a cruise ship pull into Circular Quay.”

“The view from our ground floor hotel room. There’s an outdoor sofa to sit and watch the clouds drift over the bay. Or you can take your pick of the 25m lap pool, or the warm waters of the bay another 30 seconds walk away.”

“A day trip for business and decided to make it a romantic weekend with my new fiance. The Lakeside Rydes is on the shore of Lake Burley Griffin and stand highs allowing most rooms to take a wonderful vantage point of the completely architectured city (even the lake was designed).  This shot was taken from one side of a balcony showing the Australia’s parliament house at night. The rest of the views were across the lake and over the surrounding country side.”

“The best possible view on the harbor and steps away from the Sydney opera house and dozens of ferries to just about anywhere. Very peaceful and private although in the midst of all the action. The Grand Quay had the best in-room dining, staff was amazing, the decor and room layout was up to par. I will definitely return.”

“For a 5 star hotel the rooms aren’t anything special. The bath is very small (too small to bathe in). The bed is king size though. And the view is good, night lights are interesting too.”
