Hotels in Melbourne

Melbourne is a city located in the state of Victoria, to the Southeast of Australia. Because of its high economic development and its beautiful historical centre, where you can see lovely Victorian architecture buildings, it is considered one of the cities with the highest quality of life in the world.

Due to its importance as a commercial and cultural centre, it has hosted many relevant world events such as the Olympic Games in 1956 and the Commonwealth Games in 2006, as well as some international political events such as the G20 Summit.

Melbourne is also known because of its great urban development and its many public parks and gardens scattered across the city, which is why this place is also known as the "garden city". Regarding its economic development, we can highlight the growth of several industries such as the car industry, with the construction of new Ford and Toyota factories and the freight transport sector, thanks to its huge seaport and the international airport of Melbourne. All this combines to make the city a focus of attention not only for business but also for tourism, with approximately 9 million visitors every year, which represents an important income for the city. This has also lead to the construction of large infrastructures to accommodate tourists such as some world-class hotels and leisure centres.

Melbourne is also an important cultural centre since you can find a wide variety of museums, theatres and public spaces where many cultural events are often hosted such as theatre performances, classic music concerts and contemporaneous art exhibitions. Among the most relevant museums, we can find the Melbourne Museum, which is notable for its amazing dinosaur fossil collection and the Ian Potter Centre, where an exclusive sample of the best Australian art is displayed.

If you wish to go out for lunch or dinner, Melbourne is one of the best cities, since you can find a number of prestigious restaurants where a wide variety of typical dishes and international cuisine are cooked and they even compete in the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival that takes places every year the month of March. If you feel like going dancing, you will find many nightclubs such as the Melbourne Metro Nightclub and the QBH, with a capacity for 2,000 people.
