What a city!!! So clean, so beautifully designed and the pleasant weather. Plan your visit in months of may - June you will experience the windy cold temperature of about 12-15 degrees. Apart from it you should visit the bridge with speakers it is in the walking distance from Crown Hotel from their you will get the whole city look and the heighted buildings. Crown hotel is one of the prime hotel's in there you will feel the aroma of luxury with complimentary breakfast and it is really worth it. So do visit Crown Melbourne. 🤗🎉

Loved it!! Been to Melbourne many times but this time visited the Crown. Huge establishment, easy to get in as you don't need to sign in with lots and lots of machines. Highly recommended as there's lots to do and plenty of eating options

Crown’s kinda like Melbourne’s guilty pleasure. It’s flashy, chaotic, sometimes a bit much but you still end up there every now and then. I’ve had some fun nights here: decent bars, solid food spots, and of course a cheeky flutter on the pokies (responsibly, promise!). The vibe depends on when you go midweek feels relaxed, but weekends can be super hectic with big crowds and long lines. Also, not the cleanest bathrooms lately, which is a shame for such a high-profile venue.

The buffet lunch at The Conservatory was fantastic! The seafood was fresh and there was a great selection. The roast meats and Indian dishes were very good. The sweets bar was excellent. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was excellent with excellent views of the Yarra River. Five stars!
