1-bedroom apartment or hotel room?

A one-bedroom apartment gives you a door between the bedroom and the living area, plus a kitchen or kitchenette and usually a washing machine. That matters on stays of three nights or more, for business travellers who need to work while a partner sleeps, and for anyone travelling with a baby.

Hotel suites such as Crown Towers’ Executive Suite offer the separate living room without the kitchen, but add hotel service, restaurants and housekeeping.

Often they cost about the same as a four-star hotel room per night but give you more space and a kitchen, which saves money on longer stays. Prices change by date, so compare live rates for your exact nights.

Which area is best for a 1-bedroom apartment in Melbourne?

The CBD is best if you want to walk everywhere and use the Free Tram Zone. Southbank suits couples who want river views and the arts precinct. South Yarra suits shoppers and diners.

Can I find a 1-bedroom penthouse in Melbourne?

Yes, but they are rare. Studio 8 Penthouse on Chapel Street in South Yarra is a compact one-bedroom penthouse studio with a balcony.
