1. The Sofitel
   • We’ve got a soft spot for The Sofitel. The Sofitel has a few claims to Melbourne fame. It’s arguably got the most beautiful lobby space of any hotel in the CBD, it’s got The Mayfair downstairs (a gorgeous late-night champagne & oyster bar), and because of its location at the top of Collins St, the corner rooms have insanely good views, looking east toward the Dandenong Ranges. Proper ‘everything the light touches’ kind of views. You can even enjoy them at the well-stocked breakfast buffet at No35 Restaurant.
   • Located at 25 Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000, Australia.
2. Grand Hyatt Melbourne
   • From the shiny, golden reception to the warm amber hues of the rooms, the Hyatt will likely be a 24-karat experience. Request a room on the twentieth floor or higher and if you’re lucky the view will include a handful of Melbourne’s major landmarks. It’s a cinch to visit those places in person too, with the Hyatt located within walking distance to trains and trams. Plus, the rooms themselves feel very private; the walls are thick and there are no awkward noises audible from your neighbours – or from you to them.
   • Located at 123 Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000, Australia.
3. Crown Towers
   • Crown Towers’ rooms are undoubtedly the best in the city – and not for their uninterrupted views of the Yarra and the city. This 5-star hotel is equip with 24 hour in-room dining, a tablet-booking system for all spa services and preferential booking with any of the restaurants in Crown. With some of Melbourne's best fashion houses and boutiques just downstairs, you're guaranteed a luxury experience any night of the week.
   • Located at 8 Whiteman Street, Southbank, Melbourne Victoria 3006, Australia.
4. InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto
   • When the Rialto opened in December 2008 after a huge refurbishment, it was the first hotel in the world to be Green Globe rated. That achievement came without needing to compromise on style – inside the rooms you'll find contemporary, spacious digs with the latest technology and top of the line beds that contrast nicely with the Rialto's ornate gothic facade.
   • Located at 495 Collins Street, Melbourne VIictoria 3000, Australia.
5. Sheraton Melbourne
   • Sleek and modern, the Sheraton Melbourne is everything you want from a contemporary five-star hotel; we're talking shiny marble bathrooms and fluffy robes, for a start. Located five minutes' walk from the Treasury Gardens and Princess Theatre, the Sheraton is ideal for a luxurious getaway in the heart of Melbourne – try the indoor heated pool or rooftop bar if you don’t believe us.
   • Located at 27 Little Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000, Australia.
6. The Westin
   • The Westin's secluded entrance off Collins Street makes it feel a world away from the bustling CBD. D. There's an alluring touch of vintage glamour about the hotel. The Westin is also well-known for the quality of its beds, and when you sink down into the heavenly soft mattress you'll know why. Besides a good nights sleep, you can also keep up your fitness regime by booking a ‘workout room’ which contains exercise equipment and gives you the chance to work out privately.
