Hotel Overview
Located in the historic South Wharf Promenade in Melbourne, the four star Novotel Melbourne South Wharf was built in 2017. The hotel is complemented with direct access to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest meeting space. Guests can enjoy the on-site fitness centre, restaurant and bar.
In contrast to the historical maritime docks and cargo sheds, is the contemporary architecture of Melbourne’s newest buildings and attractions. Housed in the neighbouring historic wharfs and cargo sheds are a variety of bars, dining and shopping. The iconic 1885 three mastered tall ship and The Polly Woodside are nearby. A 17-minute walk from the hotel is Etihad Stadium, playing host to International sporting and entertainment events.
Featuring 26 levels with 347 accommodation rooms and suites, guests can choose from a range of inspired accommodation rooms and suites, boasting floor to ceiling windows with views across the City skyline or towards Port Philip Bay. All rooms and suites feature modern and thoughtfully designed bathrooms with walk in showers and LED back lit mirrors.
Melbourne’s bar, dining and café culture is well represented in the Balcony bar and restaurant. With commanding South Wharf views across the golden exterior facade. The Balcony Bar and Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anything in-between. The Balcony Bar and Restaurant service philosophy is to provide the best of Victoria’s farm fresh produce with emphasis on sharing plates and platters. As the sun sets across South Wharf, the Balcony Bar serves up local craft beers, ciders and guests choose from an extensive wine list, hand selected from Victoria’s wine regions.
A stroll across the Seafarers Bridge will connect you to the heart of the City, Southern Cross Station, New Quay and Docklands. The South Melbourne Market is a 10-minute drive away, where you find a culinary journey of cosmopolitan dining and farm fresh produce. SEALIFE Melbourne Aquarium is just 1.3 km from the property, while Royal Botanic Gardens is 2.6 km away. The nearest airport is Melbourne Airport, 25 km from Novotel Melbourne South Wharf.
