Imagine Marco

Imagine Marco is a serviced-apartment hotel in Southbank, Melbourne, offering a central base for exploring the city. The property is a short stroll from the Yarra River and Southbank Promenade, with Crown Casino, the National Gallery of Victoria, Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne CBD all within walking distance. City Road and Tram Route 58 are listed 200 metres away, while the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre is 1 kilometre from the hotel.

Accommodation is arranged as apartment-style stays rather than standard hotel rooms. Options include one-bedroom apartments for up to two guests, two-bedroom junior apartments for up to three, and two-bedroom and two-bedroom executive apartments for up to four. Selected room types are offered in Sky and Executive Sky versions. The apartments range from 51 to 97 square metres, giving couples, families and small groups more room to settle in during a city visit.

The location places guests close to Southbank’s arts, dining and entertainment precinct. The website points to the riverside promenade’s mix of fine dining and casual eateries, as well as nearby venues including the National Gallery of Victoria, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Arts Centre Melbourne and Southbank Theatre. For time outdoors, the Royal Botanic Gardens is described as less than a kilometre away. Melbourne’s trams, along with taxis, buses, trains and car hire, provide further ways to get around, although the hotel notes that many city sights can be reached on foot.

Imagine Marco is part of Imagine Hotels & Resorts, a growing Australian group of individually selected properties. The group describes its team as experienced hotel professionals who take a personalised approach to bookings and guest service. Beyond short stays, the hotel caters for corporate travel, small-group trips, couples and family holidays. Longer stays can include weekly or monthly rates, the hotel’s facilities and a weekly clean, while its Creature Comforts service can help organise basic groceries or a welcome basket. With apartment layouts, several capacity options and a Southbank position close to the river and cultural precinct, Imagine Marco suits travellers wanting more space and an apartment feel while staying near central Melbourne.
