Southbank Accommodation, Apartments & Hotels Melbourne

Regarding activities and things to see & do for tourists in Southbank, the Melbourne Skydeck reigns supreme. Tourists come here to visit the observatory deck – 88 floors up! The Skydeck experience is unique, and visitors should experience “The Edge”, the only observation deck in the world that can thrill you with a glass cube that protrudes 3 metres out from the building with you in it. You will be suspended almost 300 metres above the ground and will see some of the best views of Melbourne and surrounding suburbs.

Visitors will find many excellent cafes, restaurants and clothing stores near the Eureka Tower. After your Skydeck experience, enjoy a light snack or a coffee at a nearby cafe.

Southbank’s proximity to the Melbourne CBD and St Kilda makes it a favourable destination for accommodation. The area is home to many of Melbourne’s top hotel chains and apartment rentals. You’ll, therefore, find many amazing choices here at Southbank that match your budget.

The Southbank promenade is also home to the famous Crown Casino – with gambling and entertainment available 24/7.
