City Tempo - Southbank Collection - Modern apartments with indoor pool, tennis courts, and city views in Melbourne CBD
Located in Melbourne CBD's vibrant Southbank district, this 4-star Melbourne hotel features 130 contemporary apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the urban landscape. City Tempo - Southbank Collection stands 4 minutes from Crown Casino and 13 minutes from Melbourne Convention Centre. Each apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen featuring granite benchtops, dishwasher, and full-size refrigerator. The air-conditioned units include a balcony, separate living area, and laundry facilities with washer and dryer. Guests have access to an indoor swimming pool, outdoor tennis courts, and a fitness center. A barbecue area on the garden terrace allows for outdoor dining. The property sits within walking distance of Federation Square, Arts Centre Melbourne, and National Gallery of Victoria, while free city trams operate throughout the CBD area.
Pros
Floor-to-ceiling windows in every apartment showcase city views
Barbecue facilities available on garden terrace
Multiple bedroom configurations suitable for different group sizes
Free trams operate in immediate CBD area
Cons
Key collection required at separate location (187 City Road)
βIn my opinion, this is a smart choice, especially for extended business stays. The apartments come with full kitchens and laundry, plus perks like an indoor pool and tennis court, unusual for the price point. Its location puts guests within walking distance of the Convention Centre and Crown Casino.β
