The 12 Wonders Of The World - Crowne Plaza, Melbourne

Jan 11, 2008 Located on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne, this resort offers everything you can think of. Here you’ll experience the full range of hotel facilities and services at reasonable prices, so you don’t have to worry about covering your whole trip by cleaning up at the poker tables. The hotel is closely located to the city centre. And with just a relaxed walk away from the hotel you’ll find the Southbank Entertainment Complex with some great shopping.

What room you’ll be staying in is up to you; either it will be a luxurious suite on the top floor or in a cozy standard Double Room. It all depends on the depth of your wallet. No matter the choice, we can promise you’ll be more than satisfied.

You can truly serve most of your needs within the hotel walls. For your well-being Crowne Plaza offers a health and fitness center, outdoor pool and top quality restaurants. And maybe most important (at least for all you online grinders), they of course have High-speed Internet Access all over the hotel.

If you however do want to leave the comfort of the hotel, one tip is heading 100 meters down the street to the Crown Casino, which is one of the largest and most dazzling gaming facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. As a part of the Crown Entertainment Complex this casino is perfectly located for anyone who’s looking for some fun.

Incidently, this is also where the 2008 Aussie Millions Poker Championship will be held. So maybe you’ll be walking in Team PokerRoom.com’s footstep as they too will stay at Crowne Plaza Hotel and play some high stakes poker at Crown Casino.

And if that’s not enough, here’s a top 5 list of places you should visit in Melbourne:

• St. Kilda (A bohemian hang out situated right next to the beach)


• Chapel Street (Some superb shopping and nightlife)


• Brunswick Street Fitzroy (Ultra cool and “daggy” at the same time…)


• The Royal Botanical Gardens (Beautiful park with an outdoor cinema during summer)


• Inner city (Especially Degraves Street with cafes lined up on both sides of the street, and seating right down the middle, the area has a lovely cosmopolitan feel)

That's all you need to know. Start packing your bag and head down under!
