Luxurious Entire Top Floor Penthouse at Eureka Tower

Luxurious Entire Top Floor Penthouse at Eureka Tower Overview

I remember pulling up to the Eureka Tower on Riverside Quay in Southbank – you know, that sleek high-rise right along the Yarra River, where the city lights bounce off the water at night like some kind of urban fireworks show. It’s smack in the middle of Melbourne’s buzzing arts precinct, just a short stroll from the NGV (that’s the National Gallery of Victoria, if you’re not local) or even over to Crown Casino if you’re feeling lucky. Honestly, finding parking was a bit of a hassle – street spots are rare around here, especially during peak hours when everyone’s flooding in for events at the Arts Centre – but there’s a secure underground lot for guests, which saved my sanity. Check-in was smooth, though; the host met me downstairs with a keycard and a quick rundown – no fuss, no waiting in a lobby line like at those big chain hotels. Stepping into the elevator and shooting up to the top floor penthouse felt like ascending into another world. The place is massive, the entire level to yourself, with these floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the skyline so perfectly you half expect to see Batman swinging by (okay, maybe that’s the Melbourne fog talking).

What really got me was the vibe inside – it’s luxurious without being stuffy, you know? The living area has this plush, deep-pile rug that your feet just sink into, and the kitchen’s stocked with high-end appliances, like a proper espresso machine that made my morning flat whites taste like they came from a laneway cafe in Fitzroy. I spent evenings on the balcony, wrapped in a throw blanket (nights can get chilly down here, even in summer), listening to the distant hum of trams on St Kilda Road and the occasional laughter from riverside bars below. The bedrooms are spacious, with king beds that are ridiculously comfortable – I slept like a log, despite the faint city buzz that filters up if you crack a window. Oh, and the bathroom? Marble everything, rain shower that feels like a spa treatment, though I will say the water pressure dipped a tad during busy mornings – probably from all the other apartments in the tower. It’s not perfect; during peak tourist season around the Australian Open in January, Southbank gets packed, so noise from the promenade can creep in if you’re a light sleeper. But well, that’s Melbourne for you – alive and kicking. I wandered down to the Southbank Promenade for brekkie at one of those little spots overlooking the river, grabbed a coffee from a vendor who knows all the locals by name, and felt like I’d nailed the city escape.

Look, if you’re after a place that feels like your own private perch above the chaos, this penthouse is it. At 4 stars with an 8.6 rating, it’s earned its stripes – not over-the-top flashy, but thoughtful touches like fresh linens and a welcome basket with local treats (Tim Tams, anyone?) make it stand out. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially off-season in winter when the crowds thin out and you can snag those quiet hours to just soak in the views. Sure, it’s pricier than a standard room, but for the space and that unbeatable spot – steps from Federation Square or a quick tram to the CBD – it’s worth every cent. If Melbourne’s on your list, skip the generic stays and treat yourself here; you’ll thank me later.

Reviews of Luxurious Entire Top Floor Penthouse at Eureka Tower

• It was an amazing experience to have stayed at the Eureka Tower Penthouse. We want to come back! – Tran from Australia – 27 April 2025 (10/10)

  A very conveniently located apartment with all the luxuries. Most memorable 360 degree view of Melbourne city, a must see to believe, it’s absolutely stunning. My family was in disbelief when we arrived. This place is so spacious and clean.
  
  What could be improved: I could not fault this property at all. The only suggestion was from my teenage children that perhaps a pool table would have completed this luxury apartment and made it a 11/10. In my opinion, the decor is already an impressive 11/10.

• Unique and outstanding option at the top of the world! – Rick from Australia – 7 April 2025 (10/10)

  The location and the space were remarkable; we loved the views, the kitchen with all the supplies needed to cook up a storm, the comfortable seating areas throughout the space, and the ease of arriving and departing. Thank you for making our stay memorable.

• Exceptional – Andrew from Australia – 27 March 2025 (10/10)

  Views are amazing for as far as the eye can see. Would be an amazing spot to watch any of Melbourne's major sporting events.
  
  Artwork, sculptures and other displayed items are cool and add a new dynamic.
  
  What could be improved: Bedroom fit-out could have been nicer as the two main rooms are barely furnished – Noisy aircon unit.

• Poor criminal ho – Anthony from Australia – 2 April 2025 (1/10)

  The whole experience with staff and the host was so wrong my ex-partners friend Jarrod from Cecil St in south Melbourne knew the host of the eureka penthouse so they decided to make up a fake post about a party to get the booking canceled on me so the host went along with the fabricated story and cancelled my booking and kept my money I paid inclu d in the bond. They are scammers and theives what they did was illigal and are currently about to be hit with a fraudulent lawsuit and under investigation by Victoria Police for fraud and perjury so I wouldn't be booking here if I were you I have all the evidence to prove all this i a true hit me up . If you would like to see it
