Hotels and Accommodation in Melbourne
Melbourne river scene
Melbourne, renowned for its cafe culture, art scene, multicultural lifestyle and
splendid parks, stands on the banks of the Yarra River and the shores of Port
Phillip Bay. The Yarra flows past ancient red gums and the smart mid-city
Southgate complex. Take a sunset river cruise to catch the spirit.
City charm
You'll barely meet a visitor who hasn't fallen in love with Melbourne. Rattling
trams, parklands singing with blackbirds, stately architecture and palm trees -
it's like northern Europe on the Mediterranean.
Design
Melbourne's love of style is no more evident than in its architecture. From
gorgeous Victorian public buildings to designer hotels and dozens of examples of
post-Modernist constructions scattered around the city, Melbourne's architecture
stands out. Interior design and arts and crafts are also visual highlights of
this happening city.
History
Waves of immigration from all over the world - most notably the United Kingdom,
Greece, Italy, China, Vietnam and Eastern Europe - have turned Melbourne into an
exciting, multi-cultural city. Built with the profits of the 1850s gold rush,
its cutting edge image is tempered by a stately veneer.
