Beau Monde International

In leafy Doncaster East on Melbourne’s eastern fringe. This boutique 4.5-star hotel sits connected to a shopping centre and is a short drive from Doncaster Shopping Centre, Box Hill and Forest Hill Chase — and within easy reach of the University of Melbourne, Melbourne Museum, Collins Street and the MCG. Free self-parking is onsite and Melbourne Airport is the main nearby gateway.

An elegant Georgian-style boutique property with a modern, sophisticated vibe. Rooms are spacious and feature pillowtop beds with premium bedding, refrigerators, LCD TVs and leather seating — some rooms include spa baths — plus complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Pamper yourself at the full-service spa, unwind in the garden views or let concierge handle tour bookings. The hotel also offers limo/town-car service, dry cleaning, 24-hour front desk, a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) and free self-parking — perfect for slow suburban mornings and quick retail sprees.

5100 sq ft of event space including a conference centre and meeting room, plus a 24-hour business centre and complimentary wireless internet throughout. Express check-out and event planning services make this a solid pick for meetings and functions.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine with a bar/lounge for drinks, plus 24-hour room service for late-night cravings. Breakfast is available daily (continental options offered) and lunch/dinner service runs on a weekday schedule.
