Just like the city itself, the Crown Metropol hotel in Melbourne is dimly lit, and full of character. Located in Southbank, the hotel is smack bang in the centre of it all: shopping, galleries, restaurants, and cafes serving up Instagram-worthy breakfast content. The hotel is part of the iconic Crown group, which is celebrating its 25th birthday this month. And the jewel in the Metropol’s crown (pun intended) is its 190-square-metre guest room, The Apartment, pictured above.
After entering the hotel’s impressive lobby, with its spiral staircase and double-height ceiling, a lift to the 25th floor transports you to The Apartment, the hotel’s take on a penthouse suite. More Manhattan loft-like in its style, the apartment measures 190 square metres, which is larger than the average size of a new apartment in Australia.

Sweeping views of Melbourne’s skyline are on full display through the apartment’s floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, it has been designed to resemble a home away from home with its lush textures and custom-made artworks. Inside The Apartment you’ll find a private lobby, kitchen, living and dining area, as well as a sumptuous bedroom with an ensuite featuring a freestanding bath.
Of course, if fitness is on the agenda, the hotel has a gym in which to work up a sweat, as well as a steam room to detoxify and relax. The incredible 25-metre indoor infinity pool, pictured above, is heated to a blissful 28 degrees and has day beds and lounges from which to take in the sunset.
Food, on the other end of the spectrum, is not in short supply. With 29 options across the three Crown Melbourne accommodations (including Metropol), you can enjoy the finest in gastronomy at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (think Vegemite ice cream and powdered duck), or a hearty bowl of pasta delivered straight to your room from the Mr Hive Kitchen and Bar—either way, you won’t go hungry.
