Can someone please recommend a central (4* ish) in Melbourne... or a good serviced apartment?
We are also taking in Sydney for New Years Eve but finding hotel accomodation in the Darling Harbour area very expensive so any opinions / ideas would be welcome.
The Intercontinental (formerly Le Meridien) is a beautiful hotel in a fabulous building .... it's probably 5ish rather than 4ish star in as much as stars mean anything nowadays .. but I seem to recall thinking it very well priced so if you get a good deal there it's definitely worth a look .. good central location too
I stayed in the Westin in Melbourne. It was very nice but it is prob more of a 5 star. You could check them out on-line and see what the rates are like.
have a look at tripadvisor,we stayed at the cosmo hotel in st.kilda.excellent tram service,get a weekly ticket.the hotel room had a microwave,kettle,fridge,flat screen tv and rates were good.
