The bride will be staying at Melbourne Place on Russell Street, Melbourne

We have provided a range of hotel options below (priced between $140-$350 a night) as well as some travel information to make your journey to the venue as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Our venue recommends avoiding driving where possible on the day, as the street parking can be difficult. That is up to your discretion, however, there are always lots of Uber/DiDi/Taxis available in these areas also.

Accommodation on the east side of Melbourne, CBD
(est. 12 min drive / 21 min tram)

Information: The eastern side of Melbourne CBD, towards Russell, Exhibition and Spring Street, will provide the fastest tram and car routes to our venue. This location will avoid the traffic of Swanston, Elizabeth, Bourke, Lonsdale and Collins Street. This part of town is accessible via Flinders Street Station, Southern Cross Station via Tram (if coming via Sky Bus) and is generally less congested with traffic during week days.

Additionally, there are a lot of AirBnb’s available in this area, as it is a very popular destination. There are also tonnes of hotels in Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs if you don’t mind travelling further to venue.

Those travelling from interstate, please be aware that some Melbourne CBD streets (main and Lt) are only one-way. This may influence how easy it is to get an Uber/Taxi/DiDi. For your reference, Flinders, Collins, Londsdale, Russell, Exhibition and Spring Street are all two-way streets.

I will provide this information as a PDF closer to the wedding date, with some contact numbers, so if you get stuck somewhere in Melbourne we can give you a hand - our traffic can be unpredictable! I hope you are able to find somewhere comfortable and affordable to stay. If you have any questions, please let us know!
