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.

"Excellent and understated service, elegant rooms, a classy Martini Bar and its own private collection of artworks – including chandelier sculptures – by local and international artists." Full review
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
