Chosing a spot to stay in Melbourne
Posted on Jul 27, 2010 under Travel | No CommentMelbourne is possibly the best city for a first time visit to Australia. Full of art and culture, coastal, year round festivals, and a great nightlife, you never know when you will come across a hidden treasure while sampling one of the cities more obvious attractions. Finding the perfect Melbourne hotel to spend your time in Melbourne can be quite the challenge. With so many options to choose from ranging from luxury suites at a well known international chain to hole in the wall local accommodation that has it’s own atmosphere and a personality.
The first thing to do when picking where to stay in just about any city is making sure to match your trip to the city district you plan to stay in. You don’t usually stay at a boutique hotel in the middle of the art district if you’re traveling for business. Nor does anyone enjoy landing and getting all your things to the hotel only to discover ninety percent or more of the sights to be seen are all the way on the other side of the city (or worse country) so be sure to scout the regions and districts. If you are in search of nightlife, glamor a quick stumble from your room, South Yarra and Toorak in the city’s east are the absolute best regions for your stay but if live music and pubs are more your speed along with affordable hotels , or for more expensive beach side accommodations, you should head to St Kilda.
Many travelers will have a hard time deciding but thankfully, since this is a city full of attractions where no matter where your accommodations land you, you’ll find something great to pass your time just about anywhere. Transportation isn’t even limited to street bound traffic, you get the option of river taxis to ferry you to parts of the city.
Melbourne, Australia is full of contrasts and extremes you should definitely go experience it for yourself.
