The hype
Travelers are consistently shocked by how 'un-Sheraton' (read: nice) the rooms feel, but the breakfast buffet gets mixed reviews for temperature and variety.
Sheraton Melbourne
$150-250/ nat
Bestil hvis You want the 'Paris End' prestige and a solid business hotel without the inflated price tag of the Westin or Sofitel.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Location: The 'Paris End' of Little Collins is quieter but steps from top dining
- Unexpectedly high-end interiors that punch above the standard Sheraton weight class
- The heated indoor lap pool is a genuine sanctuary in the CBD
Hurtig oversigt: It’s a surprisingly polished Sheraton that feels more like a boutique hotel, but the lack of a Club Lounge is a glaring omission for elites.
Anmeldt af @TieaNair2384: I loved how quickly the vibe shifted from busy city to total zen the moment I walked in. The Happy Hour at Little Collins Kitchen was my absolute highlight—great drinks and such a chic atmosphere for unwinding.

Reality check
You might hear the trams or street noise on lower floors, and the 'terrace' in the Terrace Suites is often just a standing-room-only sliver.
- You need to be near Parliament or the top end of Collins Street for business
- You prioritize a proper lap pool over a 'plunge' pool
- You want a modern bathroom with a separate tub and shower
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though a 2025 review flagged missed spots and stained carpet in one instance.
- Bathroom hygiene: Marble bathrooms usually sparkle, but isolated reports of mold in grout lines exist.
- Maintenance: High standard. The hotel feels relatively new (built 2014) compared to aging competitors.
- Linens & towels: Sheraton Signature beds are consistently praised; linens are crisp and white.
- Odors & scents: Lobby has the signature Sheraton 'Le Grand Bain' scent; hallways are generally neutral.

“I would appreciate a room on a high floor (Level 10+) to avoid the 'wall view' of neighboring buildings. If available, a Corner Room would be ideal for the extra light. Please ensure I am not allocated a room on the 3rd floor.”
Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is there a Club Lounge?
No. This is the biggest gripe for loyalists. They offer breakfast in the restaurant instead for eligible elites, but no evening canapés/drinks lounge.
How is the breakfast?
Decent but not mind-blowing. It's a buffet at Little Collins St Kitchen (~$43 AUD). Some guests complain hot items aren't hot enough.
Is it good for families?
Surprisingly yes. They have interconnecting rooms and the indoor pool is a hit with kids, though the vibe is definitely more 'business/couple'.
How far is the cricket ground (MCG)?
Very close. A 15-minute walk through the beautiful Treasury Gardens.
Does the hotel have a spa?
Yes, a proper one. 'The Spa at Sheraton Melbourne' uses Payot products and is well-regarded, not just a massage table in a spare room.
Can I open the windows?
In most rooms, no. But the Terrace Suites obviously have outdoor access.
Insidertips
- ✨
The 'Seafood Buffet' at Little Collins St Kitchen is often better rated than the breakfast.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Grand Deluxe' room if you want a guaranteed view over the Treasury Gardens/Cathedral spires.
- ✨
There is a 'Free Tram Zone' stop just steps away on Collins Street—use it to get to Docklands or Flinders St Station for free.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'Terrace' in the standard Terrace Suite is barely wide enough to stand on—don't expect a patio party.
💡The lobby can get chaotic during peak check-in because it's a small, narrow space on the 1st floor.
💡You can hear the 'ding' of the elevator from rooms directly facing the lift lobby—ask to be away from it.
💡The toiletries are 'Le Grand Bain' (standard Sheraton), which some love and others find too perfumey.
💡Housekeeping can be hit-or-miss with restocking coffee pods—you might need to call down.
