About
The Langham Melbourne
The Langham Melbourne sits on Southgate Avenue, about 450 metres from the Yarra River and a short walk over the bridge into the city centre. It's a five-star property with a classic, luxurious feel — think chandeliers, marble and attentive service. The hotel is part of the Southbank precinct, so bars, restaurants and the arts precinct are right next door.
Rooms range from Classic Rooms to the Presidential Suite, with options like River Corner Club and Club Terrace. Many come with river or city views, and all are described as spacious, well-decorated and comfortable. On-site, there's an indoor pool, a fitness centre, a spa with massage and sauna, plus a restaurant and bar. The hotel also offers meeting facilities, a business centre and currency exchange.

- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so if you're travelling with a dog or cat, this won't be the place.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available from 15:00 to 23:59. If you arrive later or need an early check-in, you'll need to plan around that.

Guest-rated 9/10 from 4,332 reviews
9Verified guest“Rooms were spotless with beautiful interior design, and the location right by Southbank Promenade was stunning — only a 10-minute walk to downtown.”
9Verified guest“Had a fantastic time — the hotel was extremely clean, the staff were very friendly, and the location and Yarra River view were magnificent.”
9Verified guest“The view from the window was great.”
9Verified guest“Chose the Langham for a weekend break in Melbourne and it was a great decision. Perfect location, a short walk over the bridge into town, with lots of bars and restaurants right next door on Southbank. Our room had a nice view of the city and river even though it wasn't a river view room. Spacious, well-decorated and luxurious, with a huge, comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Used the gym and pool — both very good — and my wife had a massage and facial at the Chuan Spa which she thoroughly enjoyed. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Melbourne; it was worth the extra cost for the luxury.”
9Verified guest“The pillow and bed give an extra edge — the location is the best, and a simple gesture like a muffin for our anniversary was a nice touch.”
9Verified guest“The reception and concierge staff were especially kind, attentive and professional. When I had a small problem with mail that didn't arrive, they couldn't have been more helpful. I really appreciated the enquiries they made on my behalf.”

Getting around Melbourne
The property sits in Melbourne.
Southbank Promenade: The hotel sits right on Southbank, so you're a short walk from the river and the many bars and restaurants that line the promenade. Guests mention it as a great base for a weekend break.
Melbourne city centre: Downtown is about a 10-minute walk away, across the bridge from Southbank. Easy to reach on foot, and transport options like trams and trains are nearby.
Arts and theatre: One guest stayed specifically to be close to the State Theatre, and the area is generally good for theatre and the arts. The hotel's location makes it convenient for those venues.
