voco Melbourne Central by IHG
Located just off Lonsdale Street, this sleek high-rise hotel features skyline views, well-appointed rooms and a rooftop pool in the heart of Melbourne.
Overview
Sitting just off Lonsdale Street in Melbourne's CBD, voco Melbourne Central is a 252-room high-rise hotel that balances comfort, convenience and clean-lined design. Towering 22 storeys above the city, voco offers views across the skyline and easy access to the surrounding retail and dining precincts.
Part of IHG's upmarket voco brand, the hotel is pitched at travellers looking for something a little more refined than a standard business or budget stay. All rooms feature blackout blinds, rainfall showers, floor-to-ceiling windows and sustainably sourced bedding — with higher price-point options featuring a free-standing bath. Decor throughout is minimal and neutral, with light-blue and timber touches, and an emphasis on natural light.
The rooftop pool is a major drawcard — a rare feature among Melbourne's CBD hotels — offering an outdoor spot to cool off with views of the surrounding high-rises. It's not expansive, but the cityscape backdrop and openair feel give it resort-style ambiance.
Loungers line the compact deck — perfect for a quick dip or unwinding after a day of exploring the city. Guests also have access to a 24-hour gym and a selection of meeting rooms and event spaces on-site, making it a well-equipped choice for business travellers.
The in-house restaurant, Blacksmith Bar & Grill, opens daily for buffet breakfast and continues through lunch and dinner with a menu that sticks to crowd-pleasers — steaks, burgers, pasta and share plates. It's a practical option if you're after a no-fuss meal, with the added convenience of room service available.
For drinks, the adjacent bar serves local wines, classic cocktails and a few Australian craft brews. That said, the hotel's central position means some of Melbourne's most exciting food and drink options are within walking distance — from laneway cafes to late-night wine bars and fine diners.
