If you find yourself in Melbourne, Australia, you would want to have a share of this city's vibrant and exciting night life of the Southbank. Not everyone can afford to stay in the iconic Crown Casino Hotel, however there is always the choice of staying in the lesser stars yet still chic and stylish Crown Promenade Hotel.

Connected to the Crown Casino and Hotel, the Crown Promenade Hotel is affordable alternative, but no less luxurious. Situated minutes walk from Melbourne's best entertainment complex and the relaxed atmosphere of the Yarra riverbank, this is the top choice for any one looking for that extra bit of comfort while traveling.

The spacious rooms in the Crown Promenade are great for both business and leisure travelers alike. The earthy colors and calming lighting chosen for the rooms are easy on the eyes and create a homely atmosphere. Rooms are fitted with a mini bar filled with wide selections of snacks and drinks, and the extremely helpful and friendly concierge is always ready to take you call and let you know where are the best eats and entertainments in town.

Like any good hotels, the facilities are modern and welcoming. The lap pool accessible by all guests is clean, and overlooks the streets below. A bubble spa will relax your muscles after a few laps in the crystal clear water. The state of the art gym will make you forget your regular home gyms and allow you to enjoy your workout while watching the news or enjoy your own music. A coffee refreshment bar joining the gym and the pool gives you a chance to wind down with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea after your exercise before heading out.

Being part of the Crown enterprise, the hotel has a inner corridor joining the reception to the main casino area. The Crown Casino is the central of entertainment from giving your best shot at Blackjack or attend a show at its theater stage. The excellent food court has as wide selection of international cuisine or many fine choice of restaurants, from an Oyster Bar to Greek Antipasto to Oriental delights are all on offer in the Casino.
