Melbourne Square West Tower
Modern apartments with superb transport links for race weekend.
About this hotel
Melbourne Square West Tower provides a practical base for the Australian Grand Prix, with its strategic location offering strong public transport connections. While not directly adjacent to Albert Park, the ease of reaching the circuit via tram or bus means fans can avoid the worst of race-day traffic. The apartments themselves offer a comfortable retreat after a day at the track, allowing groups to cook their own meals and relax in a private space. This setup is particularly good for those who prefer a more independent stay, away from the hotel crowds. The proximity to key city hubs also means exploring Melbourne's dining and entertainment is straightforward, making the most of a race weekend beyond the track action. The strongest experience here is the freedom to navigate the city and circuit on your own terms.
- Modern self-catering apartments
- Strong public transport links
- Proximity to city attractions
Our take
This aparthotel is best suited for groups of fans or families who value independence and excellent city-wide transport links during a Grand Prix weekend. Its self-catering options and spacious apartments make it a good choice for longer stays or those on a budget who prefer to prepare their own meals. Those looking for a direct walk to the circuit or a full-service hotel experience might find it less ideal, as it focuses more on practical, self-sufficient living.
- ✓Book your apartment well in advance, as self-catering options with good transport links are highly sought after during the Australian Grand Prix.
- ✓Familiarise yourself with Melbourne's tram network before arrival; it's your best friend for getting to Albert Park on race day.
- ✓Consider stocking up on groceries upon arrival to make the most of your apartment's kitchen facilities and save on dining out.
