Hotel Description

I remember pulling up to the Luxurious Flemington on Ascot Vale Road – you know, that stretch right by the racecourse where the trams rattle by every few minutes, making it super easy to hop into the city without dealing with Melbourne’s notorious traffic. It’s unit 1813 in this sleek high-rise, and honestly, the first thing that hit me was that view – I mean, waking up to the Flemington Racecourse sprawling out below, all green and grand, especially in the morning light when the fog’s just lifting off the tracks. I’d grabbed a coffee from that little spot on Racecourse Road beforehand, one of those unassuming cafes where locals chatter about the horses, and it set the tone perfectly. Check-in was a breeze, no fuss at the front desk – the staff were chatty Aussies who tipped me off about avoiding the crowds during Cup Week in November, when the whole area buzzes like crazy and parking turns into a nightmare (pro tip: use the tram or Uber if you’re here then). The lobby’s got this modern vibe, with plush couches that smell faintly of fresh linen, and it’s quiet most evenings, save for the occasional cheer from a race day broadcast filtering in.

Stepping into the room, well, it’s one of those places that feels luxurious without trying too hard – four-star comfort with king-sized beds that are ridiculously soft, like sinking into a cloud after a long day exploring. The balcony was my favorite part; I’d sit out there with a glass of local Yarra Valley wine, watching the sunset paint the racecourse in oranges and pinks, and you can actually hear the distant hum of the city without it being overwhelming. The kitchenette’s stocked just right for whipping up a quick brekkie – think fresh bread from the nearby Epsom Road bakery – and the bathroom’s got those rain showers that make you linger a bit too long. Oh, and if you’re into fitness, there’s a gym downstairs that’s decent, though it gets a tad crowded around 7 AM when the joggers from the Maribyrnong River trail pile in. One minor gripe? The Wi-Fi can be spotty during peak times, like when everyone’s streaming the races – but hey, that’s Melbourne for you, and it didn’t ruin the stay. It’s sort of tucked away from the main hustle, so nights are peaceful, with just the soft rustle of eucalyptus trees outside.

All in all, if you’re after a spot that blends that authentic Melbourne suburb feel with killer views – especially if you’re timing it for spring racing season – this place is a gem. I’ve stayed in fancier joints downtown, but there’s something about being right here in Flemington, a quick 10-minute tram to the CBD or a stroll to the Showgrounds for events, that makes it feel like you’re actually living the local life. At a 9.2 rating, it’s no surprise; you’d be hard-pressed to find better value for that racecourse panorama. Just pack light layers – the winds off the track can sneak up on you.

    The pool and view, the atmosphere, the friendly vibe.

  • Alfina from Australia (9/10)

    The room was lovely. The view was amazing

  • Nathan from Australia (9/10)

    Location was perfect as we were attending an event across the road and pretty much just needed somewhere to sleep. The views were amazing to just sit and chill and relax. Probably could have made use of other facilities but didn't really have the time but it was good to have them there. We were greeted upon arrival and guided to the carpark, then once at the room were informed of the closest shopping and dining and alike which was a nice detail.

  • Michael from Australia (9/10)

    Amazing view of Flemington racecourse, very clean, apartment was equipped with all the appliances you need.
    Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne.
