How Couple-Friendly is Crowne Plaza Melbourne?

Heated outdoor pool with cabanas, Yarra-river view rooms, candlelit dinners at Yugo and lobby bar create romantic setting; Crown Casino nightlife 300 m away; no confirmed in-room spa, so slight drop.

Considerations for visiting Crowne Plaza Melbourne (couple trip)

Good match for:

  • Poolside Relaxation: Heated rooftop pool with complimentary cabanas lets couples unwind together.
  • City Sightseeing: 560m to Southern Cross Station for direct tram and train access across Melbourne.
  • Date Night Dining: Onsite Yugo Restaurant and nearby Boatbuilders Yard offer romantic riverside dinners.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Budget Travelers: Average nightly rate around US$154 with extra charges for parking and breakfast may exceed tight budgets.
  • Quiet Boutique Seekers: Part of a large chain with 432 rooms, lacks the intimate feel of a boutique stay.

Bathroom only had very few amenities. Staff at Otto restaurant was horrible. They ask ...

Perfect hotel if you are visiting the exhibition center. And also all the restaurants and casinos are in walking distance. The rooms are modern and very comfortable. Tej service is very friendly and helpful. Even when I arrived early in the morning they did everything that I got a room especially after a 26 hours flight very appreciated - thank you again very much. Will come again.

Loved our stay, we had a king riverside view. The bed was comfy the pillows amazing, perfect for a couple. I have stayed many hotels and this room was by far the cleanest I have ever stayed in. The staff really friendly, and was the perfect location, tram out the front all food you can think of a 5 minute walk away. It was our first time in Melbourne this made it just perfect.
