Entertainment

Federation Square

Touted as "Melbourne’s civic and cultural hub for the 21st century," Federation Square is a conglomerate of attractions centered on wacky architecture and a large open piazza-type area cobbled with misshapen paving.
Here you’ll find the National Gallery of Victoria: The Ian Potter Centre-Australian Art, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), and a one-stop Visitor Centre.
The huge three-level National Gallery of Victoria building contains the largest collection of Australian art in the country, including many works by Sidney Nolan, Russell Drysdale, and Tom Roberts, as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The Gallery is a major focus for art festivals and special events.
Numerous cafes and coffee shops operate throughout the precinct.
The ACMI centre includes two state-of-the-art cinemas and large areas where visitors can view movies, videos, and digital media. It’s worth visiting the square just to see the extraordinary architecture, made up of strangely reflective geometrical designs, and the impressive glassed Atrium. Lots of events happen in the square’s 450-seat amphitheatre, including theatrical performances and free concerts. Other events take place on the plaza and along the banks of the Yarra River.

Address: Flinders St. to the Yarra River (running north-south to the left, facing Flinders St. Railway Station)

Old Melbourne Gaol

Cramped former prison, with tiny cells and a spooky collection of death masks and artefacts of 19th-century prison life. Some 135 hangings took place here, including that of notorious bandit (and Australian hero) Ned Kelly, in 1880. The scaffold where he was hanged is still in place, and his gun, as well as a suit of armour used by a member of his gang, is on display. The jail closed in 1929. Profiles of former prisoners give a fabulous perspective of what it was like to be locked up here. Chilling night tours run every Sunday and Wednesday (call ahead to check the schedule). The tour is not recommended for children under 12. Allow 1 hour or more.

Address: Russell St

Shopping

The hotel is surrounded by some of Melbourne’s best shopping including:

Myer

Melbourne Museum

This museum opposite the 19th-century Royal Exhibition Buildings is Australia’s largest and one of the most interesting. Some of the highlights include a real blue whale skeleton (you can’t miss it), an indoor rainforest, and a truly brilliant insect and butterfly collection with lots of real-life exhibits, including cockroaches, ant colonies, and huge spiders. Apart from that there’ are interactive exhibits and science displays Bunjikata, the award-winning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Centre and bits and pieces of social history, including a stuffed race horse called Phar Lap. Check out the brightly coloured Children’s Museum, which will bring hours of enjoyment to the little ones. A big thumbs up! Allow 2 hours.

Queen Victoria Market

The Queen Victoria Market is more than just Melbourne’s shopping Mecca. This 19th century market is a historic landmark, a tourist attraction and an institution for all Melburnians. The ‘Queen Vic’ was opened in 1878, but the meat market building operated from 1866.
Fresh is the flavour of the market. More than fresh seafood and fresh fruits and vegetables, the market takes a fresh approach. Find clothing, baggage, toys, jewellery, new-age products and souvenirs.
The complex of enclosed food halls, open sheds, shops and stores illustrate the variety of Melbourne culture through its produce whilst maintaining a vibrant sense of how a 19th century market functioned.
