Sensational Melbourne Serviced Apartments In Historical Spaces

When Melbourne was founded 170 years ago, the founders, right near where our Melbourne serviced apartments sit, declared that this would be a place for a village.  At what once was a city of humble beginnings, it is now a place populated by over 3 million people and the accommodations are a plenty.

Melbourne is also known as Australia’s place of intellect and arts.  This is where all of the continent’s major events are held and the place to go for the traveler.  This is a place of hidden treasures and delights to please both the extreme traveler as well as offering the many contrasts you would expect from a place of such vast places to offer to any pallet.  Melbourne also offers some of the best hole in the wall uniqueness.

When you go to visit Melbourne, the best way to approach this city is to know where you are going to stay.  It does not matter if you are on a corporate business trip or just a getaway – Melbourne hosts a central business district that you will want to place yourself right in the center of.  The two places you will want to either visit or stay at if you are into the nightlife of the Hollywood type atmosphere are going to be Toorak or South Yarra.  If you are looking for more affordable places to stay that still gives you plenty of access to the most popular pubs with music, but a more luxurious beachside place to stay, you will want to choose St. Kilda.

Starting with the Central business district, Melbourne is a city by the bay that does not always feel like a bay type city.  It offers more of a metropolis type feels unless you are right on the sea or river.  In fact, most people do not even realize they are in the center of the Yarra River until they are standing on a bridge and see the water taxi.  From an architectural aspect, you will see old architecture mixed with the new.  There is an aquarium that sits next to an 80 year old tramline.  Until recently, this was home to the Rialto, which was known as the tallest building in that hemisphere and it towers over some of the oldest churches.  In contrast to the newness, there are Internet connection booths that are placed right next to horse troughs.

Melbourne’s favorite sport venue is on the eastern fringe of the city that is surrounded by a park and close to the Cricket Ground and it is known as the Hilton on the Park.

Depending who you speak to, right over the Yarra is the newly developed Southbank and you will find the jewel in the crown known as the Crown Entertainment Complex which houses the Crown Towers.

Traveling down the St. Kilda seaside you will get the feel of all that is available to you and just about anything that you would want at your disposal is there.  Some people say it has a grungy feel to it and then others say that it is very earthy feeling.  There are over 200 shops and restaurant a stone’s throw away from each other.  So needless to say, if you cannot find it there, chances are, you are not going to find it, whatever it is you might be looking for.

If you are in South Yarrah or Toorak this is where you are going to find the best shopping and dining experience if you are into the high-class lifestyle feel.   There are a number of short stay apartments in this area as well as some fully furnished apartments in Melbourne.

It is safe to say that staying within the Central district you are going to be able to find any accommodations to fit your lifestyle, budget and reason for visiting Melbourne.
