The Victoria Hotel Melbourne
Clean room and very well located in city centre. Rooms are a little dated so soundproofing isn’t perfect but it wasn’t an issue.

Grand Hyatt Melbourne
Gorgeous views, a short walk to all the shops in Melbourne with great bars a min walk away. The all day dining menu is really good and fresh and the service was great. As a female travelling alone I felt really safe and it was a luxurious break.
