Visiting Australia is one of the greatest joys you can have as a holidaymaker or businessman. The country itself has a wonderfully youthful outlook and friendly demeanour, seeming to shun the starchy formality that is commonplace in other parts of the world. Understandably, when you are considering undertaking such an epic trek across the globe, then you want to make sure that everything on your trip is planned as perfectly as possible. You’ll want to stay in the best Melbourne hotels, such as those hotels near Flinders St Station or St. Kilda Melbourne, so make sure you plan your jaunt down under with HotelClub to take advantage of great value deals!
Melbourne is one of the bustling metropolises of the state of Victoria and the second largest city in Australia. Founded in 1835 it became one of the world’s largest cities in the 1850s at the height of the Australian gold rush. After Australia became a unified country in 1901, the city served as the seat of government (don’t mention this in Sydney!) until 1927. As such it has played a dominant role in Australian history. Where better to stay than in the city which has played such an influential part in making Australia the country it is today?
Nowadays, Melbourne is known as one of the most cosmopolitan and culturally diverse cities in the whole of Australia, or indeed the world. It’s the spiritual home to several major Australian institutions, Aussie Rules football, film, music and television, not to mention the Heidelberg School of Impressionism.
Melbourne has over four million inhabitants and as such, is a large city. It is certainly wise to consider which attractions you would like to see and try and look for accommodation via the HotelClub website within these areas, although it is worth noting that getting around the city isn’t particularly stressful given the excellent public tramway system that exists, the largest of its kind in the world!
For example, if you are looking for hotels near Flinders St Station, then you are going to be at the heart of the city, right next to the Yarra River. Flinders Street is the central railway station of Melbourne and as such, can be extremely busy during the day with commuters. That said, it’s also central to all the fantastic shops, restaurants, bars, galleries and museums that are littered throughout this great city and is also particularly handily placed for the business district, not to mention to use as a base to explore this great city, or indeed other parts of the state of Victoria, in more detail. If you’re looking for hotels in Melbourne City Centre, Flinders St Station is the place to begin your search!
Melbourne is such a diverse city that you can not only sate your own interests and hobbies, but find new ones too! Innovation is seen all over the city and the indomitable Australian spirit fizzes through the city’s veins. If you’re a wine buff, why not try the Epicurean food and wine tours, offering you the chance to taste locally grown wine and cheese, renowned throughout the world for its quality. There’s the Royal Botannical Gardens for you to wander around, the fantastic St Kilda Beach and Melbourne Zoo or even sky diving for thrill seekers, all available locally when you book one of the fantastic range of hotels available through HotelClub.
However by all means that is not the only choice available. Anybody looking for cheap Melbourne hotels will be spoilt for choice by the vast number and variety of hotels available across the city when browsing the HotelClub website. Not only can you search for hotels within a specific destination area, say for example, you’re looking for hotels near St. Kilda Melbourne, you can also search for hotels that have vacancies within a specified time frame and that also allow booking up to 12 months in advance of the date of travel!
In addition, further benefits are available to members of HotelClub’s membership program, including the chance to earn six per cent in member dollars with every hotel booking – these dollars can then be subsequently used against any future hotel booking!
