With a stunning modern interior and rooftop views, the voco Hotel in Melbourne Central is a hotel that families shouldn’t miss when they’re looking for family-friendly accommodation in the heart of Melbourne.
We were invited to spend a night at this hotel and we loved our staycation! In particular, we recommend voco Hotel Melbourne for its unbeatable location, comfortable furnishings, restaurant with city views and outdoor rooftop pool!
voco Melbourne Central
Conveniently located just moments away from Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne Central Station and Emporium Melbourne, the hotel makes for a perfect spot if you’re looking to shop, eat or catch a show in the city.
The hotel’s central location means you can also travel to see most of Melbourne with ease using public transport, plus there is valet parking if you take a car.
There are gorgeous views over Melbourne’s skyline in every room and from the hotel’s rooftop oasis.
The plunge pool is heated and it is long and narrow (and not very deep), so you won’t be able to swim long laps. It’s more like a huge spa and is so warm that it’s enjoyable even on a chilly day!
There’s also a fitness centre if you don’t fancy swimming (but really, I recommend taking your bathers!).
Also on the same level is the Blacksmith Brasserie and Bar, with floor-to-ceiling windows of the city. It’s open daily for breakfast and opens to the public on certain days for lunch and dinner.
The breakfast buffet at the Blacksmith Brasserie is expansive, with a cooking station for eggs and omelettes cooked to order, plus a delicious assortment of fruit, bread, cereal, pastries and hot food.
The bar overlooks the pool and Melbourne city skyline and is the place for a delicious cocktail when the sun goes down.
Room service is available from the same kitchen as The Blacksmith Brasserie and Bar, with a modern Australian menu of starters, mains and desserts plus a kids menu too.
voco Melbourne Rooms
While the voco Hotel is located right in Melbourne CBD, the hotel itself is remarkably quiet so you can be assured of a good night’s sleep.
Inside our room, and even in the lobby and other common areas, we cannot hear any traffic noise at all.
In addition, our twin room features cosy bedding, luxe amenities in the bathroom and high-speed Wi-Fi. There’s air conditioning – but also windows that open, a seating area, tea bags and coffee pod machine, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and Chromecast if you want to watch shows from your favourite streaming services.
When it comes to rooms and suites, voco Melbourne offers the following options:
- The King Bed Standard Room – a 22 sqm room that features a king-sized bed good enough for 2 adults, a 42″ TV and Complimentary fast WiFi to help you stay on top of your work.

- The King Bed Premium Corner Room – a 31 sqm room that features a king-sized bed, floor-to-ceiling windows and family-friendly dual key options. Good enough for 2 adults…
- The King Bed Premium Bathtub Room – a 36 sqm room that features a king-sized bed, a 4-piece bathroom, a complimentary coffee pod machine, fast WiFi and more.
- The 2 King Single Beds Standard Room – a 26 sqm room that features 2 King Single Beds, premium bedding, floor-to-ceiling city views and more. The room is enough to fit 2 adults.
- The 2 King Single Beds Premium Room – a 28 sqm room that features 2 King Single Beds, dual key options for the family, premium bedding and luxe amenities. You can fit a total of 3 adults in this room, but you’ll need to add on a rollaway bed for the 3rd person.
- The King Bed Accessible Room – a spacious 28 sqm room that features a king-sized bed, a walk-in shower with seating, fast WiFi, an LED TV, mood and task lighting options and floor-to-ceiling windows which maximise views over Elizabeth Street.
For families, you can request two externally interconnecting rooms. This combines the King Bed Premium Corner Room with The 2 King Single Beds Premium Room and a small external alcove area that’s accessed via a single door.
Note that means that the rooms are not internally interconnecting, so it may not be suitable for very young children if you do not keep your room door open (but the alcove door shut).
