Sleeping
While you'll have no trouble finding a place to stay that suits your taste and budget, for a
city that's big on style Melbourne has only a handful of small, atmospheric hotels.
Airport & Around
Melbourne's closest airport is 25km from the city, with no direct public transport links, so
odd-hour flights require taxis, a SkyBus from the city centre or a sleepover. There are
three main airport hotels, ranging from bells, whistles and direct 'air bridge' access at the
Parkroyal Melbourne Airport
( 03-8347 2000;

(
Budget Melbourne Airport

, which has basic rooms just over 600m from the terminal.
Central Melbourne
There are a lot of places across all price ranges that will put you in the heart of the action,
whether you've come to town and want to shop, party, catch a match or take in some cul-
ture.
