Bottom Line

As part of the popular Citadines chain, The Citadines on Bourke has modern apartments that offer privacy with the convenience of a hotel. It’s in the heart of the Central Business District located on Bourke Street, one of Melbourne’s most well-known streets. The close proximity to the Parliament House and Old Treasury Building makes it ideal for business travelers. The Bourke Street Mall is also nearby for shopping and restaurants that appeal to both families and couples. A fitness center, indoor pool, sauna and outdoor sundeck are also on-site. Wi-Fi is free, but can have a spotty connection.

Oyster Hotel Review

Citadines on Bourke Melbourne

Scene

An apartment-style hotel with sleek yet simple decor

This apartment-style hotel in the Central Business District is a sleek, modern option that's well-suited to business travelers on longer stays, who want both the conveniences of a home and a hotel. A long hallway with white wire mesh chairs and tables leads to the reception area and lobby and gives plenty of spots for relaxing or casual meetings. Decorative globe-like light fixtures, black leather couches, marble counters and large brass jars give a simple and modern vibe. Tall ceilings and steep wooden paneled staircases lead to conference rooms and other areas of the hotel. There are free newspapers in the lobby.
