About this hotel

The Mercure Welcome Melbourne is a solid choice for families and those prioritizing convenience, especially on match days. Its central location near Bourke Street Mall means you're well-placed to catch public transport to the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The hotel features a cafe, a grill restaurant, and a cocktail bar, offering diverse dining options before or after an event. With parking available and an airport shuttle service, logistics are simplified for out-of-town visitors. The relaxed rooms provide a comfortable retreat, and the kid-friendly amenities ensure a smooth stay for all ages. Getting to the MCG is straightforward, with trams and trains easily accessible from the hotel's doorstep, connecting you directly to the stadium precinct.

Our take

Mercure Welcome Melbourne is worth considering for its location near Bourke Street Mall and its on-site café, grill and cocktail bar. I would choose it when a city-centre stay matters as much as the MCG, which is a short public transport ride away. Its 7.2 guest score is modest for a 4-star hotel, so expect a practical stay rather than a standout one.

  • Utilize the public transport links near Bourke Street Mall for a quick and easy journey to the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
  • Consider the hotel's parking facilities if you're driving, as city parking can be challenging on event days.
  • Book the airport shuttle in advance for a stress-free transfer to and from Melbourne Airport.

Why we love it

  • Excellent transport links to MCG
  • Family-friendly amenities

Why guests love it

Mercure Welcome Melbourne is a modern 4-star hotel near Bourke Street Mall that I would suggest to families who want a central base for a game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Public transport from the city centre makes the trip to the stadium simple, and the shops are on the doorstep. A café, a grill restaurant and a cocktail bar cover every meal, parking is available and an airport shuttle helps on arrival. Guests rate it 7.2 across more than 3,100 reviews.
