The indoor pool and sundeck on the 27th floor is not to be missed, while Time Out’s top tip for the hotel is to request access or to the club lounge (28) atop the 658-room hotel.

"In the popular imagination Melbourne is the arty, slightly scruffy one and Sydney is the shiny, beautiful one. But as with any stereotype, there are plenty of exceptions — the Westin..." Full review

Business facilities, naturally, are as extensive as you could ask for, and the Westin is well positioned for leisure as well — many of the city’s top cultural and commercial destinations are close at hand, as is Flinders Street Station, offering access by rail to just about everything else.

Time Out "Sleeping at the Westin is about as close as you can get to sleeping on a cloud – you’ll sink into the bedding but still feel supported." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Westin Melbourne holds its own against the city's big-chain competition, thanks to its central Collins Street location, light-and-airy feel, and impressively maintained guest rooms." Full review
