Some suites offer a separate living area, while the Memphis Penthouse includes a hot tub on a private terrace. Note that certain room types have glass bricks instead of a window-check the listing for details.

Breakfast can be ordered at a nearby café and brought to the hotel. For other meals, you are steps from Chinatown, where you'll find Chinese restaurants, and a wide choice of cafes and bars along the laneways.

The hotel offers board games and puzzles for guests to borrow. Organized walking tours and pub crawls can be arranged through the front desk. For a quiet evening, you can use the free in-room casting to stream shows on the flat-screen TV. There is no gym or spa on-site.

Central CBD Location

The hotel sits in the heart of Melbourne's CBD, a 2-minute walk from Parliament Station and the tram stops on Bourke Street. The Princess Theatre is around the corner, and Chinatown is a 5-minute walk. Further afield, the Old Treasury Building, Melbourne Museum, and Royal Botanic Gardens are all within a 15-minute walk or a short tram ride. Free tram zone covers the entire city center.

24-Hour Services & Amenities

Daily housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning are available. The hotel also provides accessible parking (garage) and wheelchair-accessible rooms. A safety deposit box and key card access are standard.

“Laneways By Ovolo captures Melbourne's laneway spirit with a genuinely friendly team and thoughtful touches, like complimentary wine and a delightful candy bar. Its prime location places you at the heart of the city's buzz, with comfortable rooms providing a surprisingly quiet retreat. This is a smart, characterful stay that understands the art of hospitality.”
