Luxurious Flemington with Stunning Racecourse View

First Impressions

Walking into Luxurious Flemington with Stunning Racecourse View honestly feels like stepping into someone’s incredibly well-appointed private residence rather than a typical hotel. This four-star property sits right on Ascot Vale Road, and you know what strikes you immediately? The floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the famous Flemington Racecourse like a living painting. I mean, you’re literally looking out at the same track where the Melbourne Cup happens every November — it’s pretty surreal, especially if you’re here during racing season.

Location & Getting Around

The location is actually brilliant, and I get why couples rate it so highly (apparently 9.4 out of 10). You’re in Flemington but still close enough to Melbourne’s CBD that you don’t feel cut off from everything. The trams run regularly along Flemington Road, and honestly, having free parking on-site is a game-changer — anyone who’s tried to park in Melbourne knows what a relief that is. Plus, you can walk to Flemington Bridge Station in about ten minutes if you prefer the train.

The Apartment Experience

This isn’t just a hotel room — it’s a proper apartment setup that actually works for longer stays. The kitchen is fully equipped (not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation), which means you can cook a proper meal while watching the sunrise over the racecourse. The living area flows naturally into the dining space, and there’s enough room to spread out without feeling like you’re living on top of each other. The bedroom faces the track too, so you wake up to that incredible view every morning.

What Makes It Special

Look, the racecourse view is obviously the star here, but there are smaller touches that really work. The balcony is spacious enough for morning coffee or evening drinks — and during race days, well, you’ve got front-row seats to all the action. The building itself is modern and well-maintained, with good security and lifts that actually work reliably. The spa facilities are decent too, though nothing too fancy — just what you need after a long day exploring Melbourne or if you’ve been on your feet at the races.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, it comes down to that perfect balance of space, location, and something genuinely unique. You’re not just staying near Flemington Racecourse — you’re living above it, watching the early morning training sessions and feeling connected to this iconic piece of Melbourne. The fact that recent guests rated the location 9.6 out of 10 tells you everything you need to know. Whether you’re here for the races, exploring Melbourne, or just want somewhere special to stay, this place delivers something you can’t get at a standard city hotel. Plus, there’s a good restaurant downstairs when you can’t be bothered cooking in that lovely kitchen.
