Novotel Melbourne Central

Novotel Melbourne Central shares a tower with an ibis property on Little Lonsdale Street in the CBD, close to Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Central shopping centre and its adjoining train station, and within walking distance of RMIT University and the northern end of the retail district. The dual-branded building gives guests access to shared facilities regardless of which brand's rooms they book, including an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a restaurant and bar on the lower floors. Rooms are offered as Standard Room, Superior Room and Suite categories, decorated in the Novotel chain's contemporary, functional style aimed at both business and leisure stays. The hotel's position near Melbourne Central station gives easy access to the City Loop rail network and trams heading in every direction, while Queen Victoria Market's stalls are a short walk for produce, souvenirs and the popular night market in summer. Service is efficient and mid-range rather than luxury-focused, suited to travellers who want a reliable, well-connected CBD base for shopping, university visits or short conference stays without paying five-star rates.
