Mantra on Jolimont Melbourne

Mantra on Jolimont Melbourne is an apartment hotel in Melbourne’s sporting and entertainment precinct, making it a practical base for events at the MCG, AAMI Park, Rod Laver Arena and the former Hisense Arena. The MCG is listed as a four-minute walk away, while Rod Laver Arena is around seven minutes on foot. Melbourne CBD is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and Jolimont Station is approximately 400 metres away, giving guests straightforward access to the wider city. The hotel is listed under the supplied location of Collingwood, Melbourne, while its website gives the street address as 133 Jolimont Road, East Melbourne.

Accommodation ranges from Studio King rooms to one-bedroom and two-bedroom dual-key apartments. The largest listed options sleep up to five people, with the two-bedroom layouts offering either a king and queen bed or two king beds. That mix makes the property suitable for solo travellers and couples wanting a central base, as well as families or small groups who may benefit from apartment-style space. Rooms have opening windows, with higher floors available on request for views towards the city, Treasury Gardens or nearby event venues.

Facilities cover the basics for a longer or more active stay. There is 24-hour reception, wireless internet, air conditioning, an onsite gym and an outdoor heated pool and spa. The gym is on the ground floor and includes cardio and weight equipment, while the pool and spa are listed as open from 7am to 9pm daily, including public holidays. Breakfast is available at Boundary Line Bar & Kitchen, which serves a daily buffet with hot and cold options, fruit, cereals and pastries. The venue’s own site describes the hotel as family friendly and positions it for business travellers, couples and families.

Its location is particularly useful for sports fans, concertgoers and visitors planning to explore Melbourne’s inner city on foot. Fitzroy Gardens and the MCG are both listed around 300 metres away, with Alexander Gardens and the city’s major cultural attractions also within reach. Parking is extremely limited, costs $50 per vehicle per day and has a 2.1-metre height restriction; spaces can be pre-booked through reception but are not guaranteed. The hotel does not accept cash payments, so guests should be prepared to use a credit, debit or prepaid card.
