TL;DR
voco Melbourne Central is a stylish, design-led hotel in the CBD, perfect for business stays, date nights or rooftop cocktails with a view. The rooms are smart, cosy and come with city panoramas and actual fresh air. Downstairs, Blacksmith Bar & Grill plates up slow-cooked meats and seasonal produce in a glam setting. Go to the rooftop for a plunge pool experience. Have your meetings in bright event spaces. Or just enjoy a Flamingo Sour under the warm glow of the bar. It's boutique energy without the faff.
Boutique vibes high above the city
Hidden near Lonsdale Street and perched above a busy Melbourne laneway, is where you find voco Melbourne Central. Here you find relaxed luxury meets city-slicker convenience. Think plush rooms with skyline views, a rooftop plunge pool that’s just asking for a sunset spritz, and a location that puts Emporium, Melbourne Central, and Bourke Street Mall at your doorstep.
Check into the Sky Lobby on Level 6—part boutique bolthole, part grown-up playground. With velvet lounges, curved corners, and golden flourishes, the interior leans distinctly Wes Anderson— a nod to voco’s quirky personality
Rooms that hit the sweet spot
The rooms? Cosy but clever. King beds you won’t want to leave, Smart TVs with Chromecast, blackout curtains for jetlag days, and windows that open—because yes, actual fresh air in a city hotel is a thing. The views stretch across Melbourne’s rooftops and down into laneway life below. There’s no suite option, but upper-level rooms offer premium touches and sweeping vistas worth snapping.
Rooftop dips and dinner dates
Out on the rooftop terrace, you’ll find a heated plunge pool (seasonal, of course), sun lounges, and the best seat in the house come golden hour. There’s also a gym if you must, and refill stations to keep things sustainable.
Peckish? Blacksmith Brasserie & Bar is inspired by the site’s gold-rush era past. The kitchen turns out fire-cooked Aussie fare. Expect slow-roasted meats, a cracking cheese board, and cocktails. There’s bottomless brunch on Saturdays, an à la carte dinner from Tuesday through Saturday, and all-day snacks at the bar when the cravings hit.
Events with a view
Choose from one of eight light-filled rooms spanning three floors (some with outdoor terraces), you’ll get skyline views with your PowerPoint. Casual meeting? Sorted. Fancy launch? Done. Intimate wedding? Absolutely.
voco’s also flying the eco flag proudly—recycled bedding, Better Cotton Initiative linen, a rooftop herb garden, and local wines and produce showcased wherever possible. Not just ticking boxes, but actually walking the walk.
