Crown Towers Melbourne is often praised for its luxurious accommodations and top-notch amenities. From grand chandeliers to grand suites, but is it worth the thousands of positive reviews?

Crown is now known for luxurious hotels Australia wide, boasting 7 properties in the CBD of major Australian cities including Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. If you’ve not stayed in one, you’ve certainly dined at one!

Let’s talk food & drink

Melbourne is renowned for its vibrant food culture and is home to some of the country’s finest restaurants and bars. Crown Towers houses 25 spectacular venues eat, drink or like me people watch.

An absolute highlight out of the 25 is the very French, Bistro Guillaume. Inspired by France’s most popular neighbourhood bistros, it features an extensive outdoor terrace, a hallmark of the world’s best bistros, a zinc-topped bar, a private room and impressive menu!

The menu features French bistro classics such as duck confit, perfectly cooked steak and sensational seafood, complimented by the tightly edited wine list sourced from France and boutique Victorian wineries. My personal recommendation is the garlic butter scallops. After all, what’s a French restaurant without butter?!

Let talk rooms

The rooms at Crown Towers Melbourne are nothing short of dazzling. Think sleek, sophisticated elegance. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear you’re in for a treat—spacious, sleek, and designed with a refined elegance that feels both modern and timeless.

A personal favourite is the plush king beds followed by the marble bathrooms that could double as a spa, and jaw-dropping views of the city or river. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and glamour, ideal for both business or leisure. If you’re after a truly indulgent experience, this is the place to be.

Location, location, location

Situated right on the Yarra River, it’s in the heart of Melbourne’s vibrant entertainment precinct. You’re steps away from high-end shopping, world-class dining and the city’s best cultural hotspots and scenic walks. Whether you’re in the mood for a night out or just want to take in the city’s energy, everything is right at your doorstep. Plus, with easy access to public transport, it’s a breeze to explore all that Melbourne has to offer.

Will I book a room here again? Absolutely, take my credit card!
