A visit to Melbourne is not complete without experiencing a show at one of the many live theatres.

Melbourne Motels
Melbourne boasts a number of motels, mainly in outer city, and suburban areas. The properties are generally midrange, and offer a range of facilities which varies from motel to motel. Some have restaurants, some have pools, and some have conference facilities. A number of motels are centered around St. Kilda, which is handy to the city, and of course St. Kilda beach. Whatever the requirements, and whatever the budget, you'll more than likely find a motel to suit in Melbourne.
The city also has a vast range of international standard hotels, and a large number of serviced apartment complexes. Building of new properties in recent years means the city is now saturated with accommodation properties. With the market so competitive it pays to shop around.
