Mantra City Central
Melbourne CBD, Melbourne
Little Bourke Street apartment
A two-bedroom apartment option in Melbourne’s retail centre.
Mantra City Central is apartment-style accommodation at 318 Little Bourke Street, beside Emporium Melbourne in the heart of the CBD shopping district. This guide focuses on the property’s two-bedroom apartment format and does not present the hotel as a penthouse.
The two-bedroom format creates a useful point of difference for travellers comparing central apartments. Current bedding, guest limits and inclusions can change by rate or apartment, so those details remain on the provider's live listing.
What distinguishes this accommodation
Location is the strongest feature: the property sits within the retail grid rather than at the river or Docklands waterfront. The apartment format adds more separation than a standard hotel room while keeping Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne Central and city laneways close by.
Who this stay may suit
This option may suit families, two couples or friends who want two bedrooms and easy access to shopping, dining and theatres. Visitors seeking a formally classified penthouse should use the penthouses directory, where the category is separated from ordinary apartments and hotel rooms.

Little Bourke Street beside Emporium and city laneways.
Little Bourke Street crosses the core of Melbourne's shopping and dining district. Emporium, Melbourne Central and Bourke Street Mall form a compact retail cluster, while Chinatown extends east along the same street. Hardware Lane and surrounding lanes provide a contrasting network of smaller restaurants and cafés.
For visitors deciding between a retail-centre address and a riverside base, the CBD guide, Southbank guide and Docklands guide explain the character of each area.
Nearby Melbourne
Shopping, Chinatown and theatres within the city grid.
A central base works well for flexible days: shopping and laneways can be explored on foot, the theatre district lies to the east, and Queen Victoria Market is north-west of the retail core. Federation Square and the Yarra are farther south. See Things to Do in Melbourne for an area-by-area plan.
Getting around
Melbourne Central Station is the closest major rail hub for many trips, and multiple tram routes cross the CBD along Bourke, Elizabeth and Swanston streets. Many central tram journeys fall within the Free Tram Zone. Check the current route and zone boundary for travel beyond the centre.
