A well-located apartment-hotel at Southbank in Melbourne with a 4.0 rating across 927 guests.
Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Mantra Southbank Melbourne is an apartment hotel in Southbank, positioned close to Melbourne’s arts, entertainment, restaurants and cafés. Its location on City Road puts guests within 400 metres of the National Gallery of Victoria, around 500 metres from Yarra River cruises and about 800 metres from Southbank Precinct and Arts Centre. Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium and the Royal Botanic Gardens are also within walking distance, making it a practical base for exploring the city on foot.
The accommodation is centred on spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments rather than standard hotel rooms. Options include premium apartments, a one-bedroom apartment with a spa, two-bedroom layouts, and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. Several accommodation types include balconies, while apartment capacities range from two to six guests. That combination of extra space and apartment-style layouts suits families, friends travelling together, longer stays and business travellers who want more room than a conventional hotel room.
On-site facilities include an indoor heated pool and spa on level 18, a fully equipped gymnasium, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and secure undercover parking, subject to availability. The property is non-smoking and wheelchair accessible, and pets are not permitted. Mezzi Bar & Kitchen operates on site and serves breakfast daily, with a buffet offering hot and cold food. There are also three meeting rooms, with the largest covering 67 square metres and accommodating up to 60 people, giving the hotel a practical option for smaller meetings and events.
The overall appeal is convenience: a central Southbank address, apartment accommodation, in-house breakfast and facilities that make it easier to settle in for more than a night. Solo travellers and couples can choose a one-bedroom apartment, while families and groups have larger two-bedroom options available. It is also well placed for visitors who want access to Melbourne’s cultural attractions without giving up the comfort and flexibility of an apartment-style stay.
