Local Tip

If you’re wanting to get out of the CBD, you can’t beat a run (or walk) around the Botanical Gardens – known as the ‘The Tan’. A 5km loop from the hotel down to Kings Domain which takes you along the Yarra River and Botanical Gardens, with views of The Shrine of Remembrance and the city skyline in the backdrop.

No trip to Melbourne is complete without a visit to one of the many bars or restaurants located on the iconic Flinders Lane. But if you want a truly local experience, there is nothing more Australian than catching an Australian Football League game at the MCG – Go the Doggies!
