Lancemore Crossley Melbourne City Centre  

Right in Melbourne's city centre, a short stroll from the Princess Theatre and about five minutes on foot to Collins Street and Parliament Metro. Melbourne Central is roughly nine minutes away by foot, Crown Casino about 3 km, and the airport is around a 30-minute transfer.

An Art Deco–flavored hotel with a modern edge and individually decorated rooms. Rooms come with air-conditioning, minibars, iPod docking or LED/LCD TVs, rainfall showers, designer toiletries, safes and work desks.

Stay active in the 24-hour fitness center, relax on the terrace or in the picnic area, and hit the bar above the restaurant for drinks. Laundry services and on-site parking (fee applies) are available, and the concierge can help book excursions and tickets—perfect for wake-up-to-city-skyline mornings.

There’s a business centre and complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, plus a 24-hour front desk and lobby newspapers to keep you connected and on schedule.

Grab a continental buffet breakfast (served daily, fee applies) at the nearby Fish Dish Café, where seafood dishes are offered through the day. The hotel also has a coffee shop/café, a bar/lounge and limited-hours room service for late-night cravings.
