The iconic 1850s art-deco building at 20 Bourke was converted into the Le Meridien Melbourne in 2023. Originally built as a hotel, it has had many incarnations, including a cinema, nightclub, theater, and live performance venue. It’s returned to its roots, this time as a luxury 5-star hotel. Le Meridien Melbourne is one of the city’s top gay-friendly hotels and the perfect spot to spend a weekend in Melbourne!
It’s located Bourke Street, at the eastern edge of the Melbourne CBD, steps away from Parliament House and Gardens. The main tram thoroughfare serving all of Melbourne, is at the front door, and Collins Street, the city's shopping precinct, is two blocks away.
Five minutes away is Melbourne's gayborhood of Fitzroy and Collingwood. Well-known gay bars, The Peel and Sircuit, are right there.
The heated rooftop pool allows for year-round swimming and is open from 5 am to 10 pm daily. The whole area is extremely Insta-worthy, so don’t forget your camera. The fitness center is open 24/7.
The modern rooms feature art-deco fittings that keep with the building’s history. Every room and suite has floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the city or the park. The on-site restaurant and cocktail bar, Dolly, is old-world European, and everything is served with theatrical flair.

Le Méridien Melbourne features a perfect location right in the heart of the city and sits within the free tram zone, making urban exploring incredibly convenient. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with great modern facilities. My favorite part of the experience was easily the pool area, which serves as a highly relaxing spot to unwind after a busy day.
