Our take
Sofitel Melbourne on Collins is the five-star hotel I would book when the MCG is one part of a Melbourne trip rather than the whole plan. A 9.2/10 score across more than 5,000 reviews, a modern brasserie and several bars make the evenings easy. Getting to the ground means public transport or a short taxi ride, so fans who want to walk out of the hotel straight into the crowd should look in East Melbourne.
- Utilize the public transport links nearby for a stress-free journey to the Melbourne Cricket Ground on match days.
- Consider the hotel's parking facilities if you're driving, as city parking can be challenging during major events.
- Book a table at the modern brasserie for a relaxed meal before or after the game, avoiding the stadium crowds.

Why guests love itSofitel Melbourne on Collins scores 9.2/10 from more than 5,000 reviews and is a central base for an AFL or cricket weekend at the MCG with family. A modern brasserie and several bars cover meals before and after the match, there is a fitness center, and parking and an airport shuttle make arrival simple. I would reach the ground by public transport or a short taxi ride and spend the rest of the time in the city.
