Located in an area renowned for its picturesque waterfront and epic events, this Docklands hotel offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and stunning views.
Here’s why Vibe Hotel Melbourne Docklands stands out as a top choice for families looking for a local escape or those visiting Melbourne and Docklands.
Vibe Hotel Melbourne Docklands Location
Located at 443 Docklands Drive, the Vibe Hotel Docklands places you within walking distance of Marvel Stadium, The District Docklands shopping centre, The Library at the Dock, Ron Barassi Snr Park and plenty of other entertainment options.
If you’re driving then The District Docklands West Car Park is just 300 meters away, offering convenient off-site parking options.
The hotel is also easily accessible by public transport – tram and train. Its location within the Free Tram Zone ensures that you are never far from the exciting cultural experiences, dining opportunities, and world-class shopping that Melbourne CBD has to offer.
Family Amenities at Vibe Hotel Melbourne Docklands
Vibe Docklands’ spacious accommodations are thoughtfully designed with families in mind. The hotel boasts accommodation options that cater to all needs, from plush king-sized beds framed by floor-to-ceiling windows to twin double beds perfect for families with young kids.
Options range from large rooms that can comfortably accommodate cribs and rollaway beds, to interconnecting rooms that provide both privacy and proximity for larger families or those with older kids.
Each room offers expansive views of the Yarra River and Melbourne’s skyline, giving you a picturesque backdrop to your stay – even from the bathroom!
We stay in a king-bed room with a bath, with an interconnecting alcove to another room containing two Queen beds with a shower.
That means our family of two adults and two tweens/teens can each have their own bed and there are two bathrooms to share.
We just keep the alcove door shut, then wedge the doors open to allow everyone to move about comfortably in the joined space.
Each room features soundproofing to ensure a good night’s sleep for both parents and children.
Understanding that travelling with children involves a lot of gear, the hotel offers amenities like cots, high chairs and a laundry service on request. The friendly staff at Vibe Hotel are also ready to assist with any additional needs, from arranging babysitting services to providing insights on local family-friendly dining options.
When you’re not out and about exploring Melbourne and Docklands, there’s on-demand kids’ entertainment available via the large, flat-screen Smart TVs. There’s free WiFi available throughout the hotel to keep you connected during your stay.
Vibe Hotel Docklands Pool + Gym
Vibe Hotel Docklands excels not only in restful accommodations but also in providing a variety of recreational activities.
The highlight is a stunning heated rooftop lap pool. The water temperature is perfect for families wanting to enjoy a swim with a view, regardless of the weather (it just gets a bit cool when you leave the water, so have your towels close by!).
The pool area includes safe, shallow steps for children and there is an adjoining outdoor spa with jets.
Older kids can burn some energy in the fitness centre, with standard gym equipment such as treadmills, bikes and free weights.
There is a steam room but obviously, it’s only advisable for adults to use it.
Dining at Storehouse Docklands
Storehouse is The Vibe Docklands hotel’s in-house dining destination.
Start your day with a full hot buffet breakfast, or enjoy an a-la-carte menu for dinner. The restaurant’s menus are designed to reflect Melbourne’s rich food culture.
While there is no children’s menu, there are kid-friendly options such as fish and chips.
Parents can even unwind with a drink from the extensive selection at the bar. Whether it’s a local craft beer, a fine Australian wine, or a creative cocktail, the bar at Storehouse Docklands offers the perfect setting to relax and recharge.
