More Information

The Hotel that makes every moment matter.

Discover South Wharf, an ideal location to meet, dine, shop and stay. Novotel Melbourne South Wharf stands proudly in one of Melbourne’s oldest locations, the historic South Wharf promenade.

The hotel is complemented with direct access to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), the Southern Hemisphere’s largest meeting space.

On arrival to Novotel South Wharf Hotel, guests are welcomed to the elevated hotel reception level and lobby lounge. Bringing stature to the Southbank Hotel landscape is the shimmering golden tower spanning 26 levels with 347 accommodation rooms and suites. Novotel South Wharf guests enjoy access to a 24 hour fitness centre including cardio and weight training gear. The Southbank accommodation includes complimentary WiFi in all rooms and social spaces so guests stay connected during their South Wharf hotel stay.

For those in need of some retail therapy, the hotel is adjacent to the DFO center, with 180 plus retail brands. A short walk from the hotel is Seafarers Bridge, connecting you to Marvel Stadium, Southern Cross Station and the city centre.
