About this hotel
Brady Hotels Jones Lane provides a comfortable and convenient base for any event at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The hotel itself offers a streamlined experience with airy rooms and studios, some boasting balconies for a breath of fresh air. You'll find a cafe on-site for a quick bite before heading out, and a fitness center if you want to stay active. Families will appreciate the kid-friendly amenities and accessible features, making it a stress-free option for a match day or concert. After the event, returning is straightforward thanks to the excellent public transport connections nearby, ensuring a smooth end to your evening.

Our take
My pick for families who want a modern, central base for an MCG match. Studios and balconies give more room than a standard room, the cafe and gym cover the basics, and the laundry helps on a longer trip. The Exhibition St/Lonsdale St stop, four minutes away on foot, makes the ride to the Melbourne Cricket Ground simple. The hotel lists a cafe rather than a bar, so I would head out for pre-match atmosphere.
- Plan your route to the MCG using public transport from Exhibition St/Lonsdale St for the quickest journey.
- Consider a room with a balcony for some fresh air, especially after a long day at the stadium.
- Utilize the full-service laundry if you're staying for multiple events or with family.
