Accommodation Options
ACAL will provide some options with conference rates.
Visit Victoria – the state tourism body – has extensive listings.
You can also use common booking services such as Airbnb, Wotif, Lastminute, Various Ibis budget hotels.
High and low numbers
If you’re choosing a hotel and you want one close to the Convention Centre, then avoid low street numbers. (What!?#)
Central Melbourne is based on the famous ‘Hoddle Grid’ and the highest street numbers for the main thoroughfares and minor streets are closest to the venue.
So a hotel at 25 Collins Street might be attractive but it’s at the opposite end of the city to the Conference Centre – 623 Collins street would be much closer.
However …. there’s the Free Tram Zone that can rescue you from a walk (but the walk would be healthier and quite pleasant)! The Free Tram Zone takes you close to both the Convention Centre and The Library at the Dock.
