Why Families Love Staying Grand Hyatt Melbourne
Central CBD location and Stress-Free
The location is gold. You’re close to everything from Collins Street shopping to Chinatown dumplings.
You’re steps from Federation Square, the NGV and ACMI, and enjoy a picnic in Artplay Playground at Birrarung Marr. Depending on where your room is located, you can watch the trams roll by from your window or bask in the view of the MCG, Arts Centre Melbourne spire or Yarra River.
Walkable access to trams on Collins Street, Swanston Street and Flinders Street, as well as Flinders Street and Parliament train stations means it’s so easy to get around—and that means fewer meltdowns.
Arriving by car? The Grand Hyatt Melbourne parking offers valet service on the Russell Street entrance (just look out for the giant Bunjil sculptures). This is super helpful when juggling kids, bags, and snacks. The Grand Hyatt Melbourne carpark has EV chargers too.
Rooms With Space to Breathe
The Grand Hyatt Collins St Melbourne rooms are spacious and thoughtfully set up.
For families, you can book a Grand King Room with a rollaway bed, baby cot or crib, or an interconnecting room with twin single beds connecting to a small foyer. That means that the kids can be in one room and the adults can be in the other room, and you can keep the doors open while still maintaining privacy.
Grand Hyatt Melbourne has also recently introduced sofa beds!
Perfect for families with bigger kids who don’t want to share a bed, or those travelling in groups, the sofa beds are designed with the same high-quality standards as the hotel’s renowned bedding.
The rooms with sofa beds are available to book upon special request.
Practical Facilities
If you’re planning a longer stay, ask for a room with a bathtub—a must for younger kids.
And yep, there’s Wi-Fi, blackout curtains, and big TVs for a bit of quiet time.
Food Options Even Picky Eaters Will Like
Buffet Breakfast Bliss
Start the day at Collins Kitchen, the hotel’s restaurant. The Grand Hyatt’s buffet includes everything: cereal, hot food, fruit, pastries, and more.
Smoothies, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal porridge and eggs are all made to order!
If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss the magnificent cakes, the honeycomb and the Nutella pump!
As well as your standard English breakfast hot food you’ll find Chinese dumplings and Indian curries. There’s so much to choose from I don’t think you’ll need lunch.
Little Sippers Kids High Tea
If you still have an appetite after the bounteous breakfast buffet (or you’re just arriving at the hotel to celebrate a special occasion), enjoy the Grand Hyatt Melbourne high tea on weekends.
The Little Sippers Children’s High Tea is suitable for kids under 12 years and offers every child a tiered stand plus UNLIMITED dessert buffet, including a chocolate fountain, freshly made crepes and ice cream.
