10 Most Romantic Hotels in Melbourne

Looking for a Romantic Getaway in Melbourne?

Melbourne is the perfect place for a romantic weekend away with someone special.  There is so much to do and see – and because the food is the best in Australia, it is a Foodie’s paradise!  Melbourne also has some of the best, most luxurious hotels in Australia – in fact my very favourite hotel of all time is located in Melbourne, and it is where I stay every time I go! So if you are looking to book somewhere special in Melbourne for a romantic getaway – here are your top choices!

What’s the Difference Between ‘Normal’ Hotels and Romantic Hotels?

Normal everyday hotels are just where you want to lay your head down at night that is clean and located close to where you need to be.  When it comes to romantic hotels, you are thinking about spending a lot of time in that hotel room, you want it warm, inviting, comfortable and fun!  Plus romantic hotels should be in the thick of the city where you can pop out to eat, but only have a few minutes walk before you can rush back to the massive hotel bed!

Think boutique hotels, but made for couples – a couple’s retreat, made for love!

Features to Consider for a Weekend ‘In’

Great features to consider when looking for a romantic hotel include:

  • Central Location
  • Spa Bath or Stand Alone Bathtub
  • Rain Showers
  • Modern Amenities
  • Marble Bathroom
  • King Size Bed
  • Fireplace
  • Luxury Toiletries
  • Full Buffet Breakfast
  • Big Screen TV and Netflix

13 Most Romantic Hotels in Melbourne | Stay at Home Mum

1. The Como Hotel (MGallery by Sofitel)

Location: South Yarra

Style: Modern, Comfortable, Under-stated

Ahhh The Como Hotel – is truly my favourite hotel of all time in Australia.  As soon as you walk through the Chapel Street doors, it feels like home.  And unlike most hotels, it is a bit ‘different’, it actually has some personality and colour.  The rooms are beautiful – truly beautiful.  There is a fluffy grey bathrobe to put on, the carpets are lush, the beds are amazing and the bathrooms are out of this world.

Best of all, The Como is located in a Shoppers dream precinct, with a shopping mall right next door, and amazing restaurants within five minutes walk. Plus the infamous Prahran Markets are only a few streets away.

There is also talk on the grapevine that The Como Hotel is where many of the celebrities in town like to stay – and seeing that it is connected to the Channel 10 studios next door, I think there might be some truth to that rumour!

Our pick of rooms is the Deluxe King Room with Spa Bath – just divine!
