Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Crown Metropol, Melbourne

Crown Metropol redefines style as Melbourne's most striking and sophisticated hotel. This urban oasis combines modern accommodation with contemporary service. Opened in 2010, Crown Metropol was designed by Bates Smart and has been described as an architectural feat for Melbourne's landscape. Despite being 658 rooms strong, and therefore one of the largest hotels in Australia, the wave shape design helps create a refreshing boutique ambience. As guests enter the hotel, its personality resonates; from the impressive ribbon staircase, the hotel is beguiling, tactile, inviting and warm. Its location on the corner of Whiteman and Clarendon Streets in Southbank also puts Crown Metropol in the heart of the action, with central Melbourne just a ten-minute walk away by an undercover sky bridge. In the luxurious rooms, guests can expect high-tech urban glamour meeting functionality with a bold yet quietly distinctive use of design. Sleek, white interiors are contrasted by use of metal, wood and stone, warm orange-hued earth toned carpeting, black oak panelling and a feature wall that defines each contemporary bedroom. European mid-century inspired mod furnishings, art and fittings are complemented with textured fabric sliding screens used to separate the ensuite and stone and bevelled glass bathroom. In the common areas, guests will find a seriously impressively array of luxury facilities for such a central location. Floor 27 of the hotel, for example, features a 25-metre infinity pool with unparalleled views over the city, steam rooms, Vitality Pool, as well as an entire Fitness Centre. In terms of eateries, Mr Hive Kitchen and Bar provides a warm and rustic atmosphere in which guests will enjoy a contemporary menu and lively bar area. Next, retire to 28 Skybar Lounge, a rooftop bar with a breath-taking panorama over the city skyline, and a wonderful range of boutique beers, local wines and exclusive cocktails. With so many other eateries and bars on offers, as well as incredible entertainment facilities, Crown Metropol allows a luxurious and convenient city break like no other in Melbourne.

About Victoria and Melbourne

An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Victoria and Melbourne offers travellers the chance to glimpse just some of the country’s post-colonial history. Australia’s smallest mainland state can be divided into two distinct regions – east and west. East Victoria’s cooler climate provides the ideal conditions for vineyards, and so it is no surprise that the region is home to the world-class wines of the Yarra Valley and Rutherglen. The legacy of Australia’s gold rush can still be seen in the ornate buildings of west Victoria, which is also known for the striking landforms and the magnificent shoreline of the Great Ocean Road. Undoubtedly Australia’s cultural and sporting capital, Melbourne is a multi-cultural city, characterised by its vibrant café scene, grand Victorian buildings and leafy boulevards.
