Located a mere 1.8 km from the National Gallery of Victoria, the 5-star smoke-free Crown Metropol Melbourne Hotel is approximately a 5-minute walk from Crown Casino Melbourne. Situated not far from the interactive multilevel SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium, this stylish hotel features 2 swimming pools and a hot tub and a sauna.

Location

The luxury hotel lies in a business neighbourhood, a mere 1.8 km from Flinders Street train station. The easy-to-access Docklands Stadium is just moments from the Crown Metropol Melbourne, while Cecil Street/City Road bus stop is about a 5-minute walk away.

The property is a mere 1.2 km from Collins Street.

Rooms

The Crown Metropol has 650 rooms with a dressing area. A flat-screen TV with satellite channels along with a mini-fridge-bar and coffee/tea making equipment are provided. Bathrooms with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet, also include hairdryers and bath sheets. They offer views of the city.

Leisure & Business

Crown Metropol Melbourne Hotel indulges guests with a full spa and a spa salon, as well as a fitness studio. You can play tennis at this accommodation, and the area is popular for bowling and tennis.

“Crown Metropol presents a paradox. While it touts luxury, some experiences seem closer to a busy theme park than a serene escape, yet the heated infinity pool with city views and exclusive Club Lounge access do indeed elevate the stay. I think its extensive facilities make it a strong choice for business and those eager to dive into Melbourne's entertainment scene, but I would suggest leisure travelers to look closely at service consistency.”
