We stayed at Novotel Melbourne on Collins during the Taylor Swift weekend in Melbourne and the city was super busy. It is amazing the boost these three concerts must have had for the economy of the city. Despite the craziness of the city during this weekend it was great to have the Novotel to came back to. Located right in the middle of Collins Street the location is perfect for anyone visiting Melbourne. Dining and shopping options are within a 100 metres in every direction, and a tram stop is practically right outside the door.
The staff are wonderfully friendly and super helpful. The hotel itself is spotless, and our room (junior suite) was the perfect size for our family of four. The breakfast was great with delicious hot and cold options, and the food available from the bar was also terrific (we tried the spaghetti bolognese, Collins Club, and the dumplings).
The pool (with spa) and gym were an added bonus. All in all, a great hotel for a visit to Melbourne.
