Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Melbourne’s vibrant cityscape, the three-star Sakura Apartment offers travelers a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore Australia’s cultural capital. Located at 220 Spencer Street in Melbourne’s bustling central business district, this well-positioned accommodation boasts a solid 7.5 rating, reflecting its consistent quality and guest satisfaction. The Sakura Apartment combines the autonomy of apartment-style living with the amenities expected of a quality Melbourne stay, making it an excellent choice for both short-term visitors and extended-stay guests seeking a home away from home in this dynamic metropolis. The strategic location of Sakura Apartment places guests within easy reach of Melbourne’s most coveted attractions and essential services. Spencer Street sits along a major thoroughfare in Melbourne’s CBD, with Southern Cross Station—the city’s principal transport hub—just moments away, providing seamless connections to Melbourne’s extensive tram network, regional trains, and airport shuttles. Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the sprawling retail complex of Crown Melbourne and the DFO South Wharf outlet center, while business travelers will find themselves conveniently situated near Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The apartment’s position also offers easy access to the scenic Yarra River promenade, with its waterfront dining options and pleasant walking paths extending toward the sports precinct that includes Marvel Stadium and Melbourne Cricket Ground. Cultural attractions such as the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium, the Immigration Museum, and the historic Flinders Street Station are all within comfortable walking distance, making Sakura Apartment an ideal launching pad for exploring Melbourne’s celebrated laneways, renowned café culture, and world-class dining scene. Within the Sakura Apartment itself, guests can expect accommodations that balance functionality with comfort, reflecting the property’s commitment to providing good value that has earned its respectable 7.5 rating. The apartment-style units typically feature practical kitchenette facilities, allowing guests the flexibility to prepare simple meals—a particular advantage in a city known for its exceptional fresh produce markets like the nearby Queen Victoria Market. The contemporary design of the apartments incorporates touches of Japanese-inspired aesthetics, as suggested by the “Sakura” name (Japanese for cherry blossom), creating spaces that feel both modern and tranquil amid the urban energy of Melbourne. While maintaining the practical approach expected of a three-star property, Sakura Apartment delivers on the essentials that matter most to discerning travelers: clean, well-maintained accommodations, attentive service, and that most precious of urban commodities—a central location that puts the best of Melbourne at your doorstep. Whether you’re visiting for business, a cultural expedition, or to sample Melbourne’s sporting calendar, Sakura Apartment provides a well-rated, centrally located base that represents genuine value in one of Australia’s most exciting cities.

    Fantastic location opposite Southern Cross Station and the Skybus. Easy connections on trams to everywhere – pubs, restaurants, transport etc.
