Sofitel Melbourne on Collins
Situated in the noticeably chic and sophisticated pocket of Melbourne aptly known as the ‘Paris end’, Sofitel Melbourne on Collins is a stunningly grand property offering traditional French luxury, from its hidden private entrance to its incredible atrium.

THE ROOM.
Only beginning from Level 36, all guest rooms and suites at the hotel offer stunning vistas, and recently refurbished (rolled out in March 2022), now offer modern luxury synonymous with the Sofitel brand and suitably fit with the property’s location.
During our stay we stayed in a Superior Room, which featured a beautiful cream-coloured bedhead that accentuated the room’s high ceilings, a contemporary velvet blue armchair, injecting an eye-catching pop of colour, and an assortment of French-inspired photographs adorning the wall in the traditional French 'Salon' style, another simple yet highly effective way of adding interest.
AMENITIES.
Located on Level 35, the same floor as the restaurant and bar, Club Sofitel is an elevated, exclusive experience. An open private space, privileges include private check-in and check-out, daily breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening drinks and canapés.
DINING.
Overlooking the Yarra River and Southbank, No. 35 Restaurant offers some of the best views in the city, and with sublime food to match it’s not difficult to see why a table here must be secured weeks, if not months in advance - so do yourself a favour and book ahead.
