Melbourne is a great place to go on vacation or business. Your trip, however, will be infinitely improved by a quality Melbourne accommodation 2010 that fits your price range and your style. You can get any of the major hotel chains, naturally, but an often cheaper and always cooler option is to pick a native Australian hotel or apartment.
A fad in Australia that is not often used in America is the rental of apartments on a few-day basis. Usually hotel suites are the closest thing people can get to this. Darling Towers is just that: a darling accommodation with fairly cheap suites or apartments. The only restriction is that it must be a more-than-one-night stay. It is good for large families especially.

The star rating is high on these apartments or suites. You can get a single, double, or triple bedroom suite which is wonderful if you travel in a large group. It allows you see what it is like to actually live in the city, since it provides you with a living and dining room area, a place for two cars, and your own kitchen.
Other apartments for short rent tend to be a little more on the tourist side, but if you are a tourist looking to be close to major attractions, then these are probably what you are going to be interested in. One is called Punt hill Serviced Apartments and another is City Edge Apartments. Both are highly recommendable.
A very classic stay would be at the Enterprize Hotel. One can see the quality of the place just from the luxury of the building. It is a wonder they can price their rooms so cheaply. This is a good option for the more posh, worldly traveler, since there is a multi-lingual staff and certain services the hotel provides to protect your cars and goods.
The Kingsgate Hotel is a couple of steps down from the Enterprize in price and quality--but that is not to discredit it. The Enterprize is not necessary for people who will not be staying in their rooms except to sleep. The Kingsgate has a lot of package deals, so it is more affordable. The funny thing is the Kingsgate's dining area, which is reminiscent of a college dining hall--only very upscale, clean, and new.
The Flagstaff City Hotel is cheaper and does not have much to offer by way of looks. It is just fine--and perfectly clean and safe--for all travelers, though it does not have the charm of the other two. However, tourists may find that it is very European and quaint in its own way, especially if they are about the city often and have no need for deluxe hotel services.
The Clarion Hotel on Canterbury is the ultimate in glamorous luxury. If you are looking to treat yourself, the Clarion specializes in spa treatments. In fact, most of their rooms come with some sort of spa suite accoutrement. Many social gatherings tend to be held here, like weddings, because it is an absolutely flawless place. The web page alone can give visitors a thrill in showing them what they can expect.
