Novotel and Ibis Melbourne Central

Melbourne


Once you get your head around this sparkling dual hotel in the city centre, you'll realise it's a fabulous option for its location, cleanliness and design. Ibis rooms are on floors 4 to 18, with the more luxurious Novotel between levels 20 to 35. From the 3rd floor down are common areas, including a bar and two fantastic restaurants.

Beige and yellow zebra-like carpet lines Ibis' hallways to rooms with tablets, flat-screen TVs, USB chargers, loads of natural light and colourful artworks of iconic Melbourne buildings. Novotel takes it up a notch with marbled watercolour carpet; larger TVs, beds and rooms; and views that reach as far as the Dandenong Ranges and Port Phillip Bay on clear days. Ibis guests can pay $10 to use the Novotel gym.
