Melbourne Southbank
Melbourne Southbank, Victoria

What distinguishes Melbourne Southbank is not any single property but the way the district holds together. Guests can compare several substantial resorts without committing to a long journey between them.

A riverside entertainment strip built around a single large complex. We treat it as a district in its own right, because the properties here compete with each other far more than with the rest of Australia's capital-city resort precincts.

The rate calendar in this district is event-led. Anyone able to travel midweek, or to shift around a fixture, will find the same room at a materially lower figure.

Our assessments of the properties below apply the same six weighted criteria used everywhere in this catalogue, so a score earned here is directly comparable with one earned in any other district we cover.
