Wills Court – Perfect Central City Base with parking

Wills Court – Perfect Central City Base with parking Overview

I remember pulling up to Wills Court after a long drive into Melbourne – you know, that chaotic weave through the CBD where everyone’s dodging trams and cyclists. It’s tucked right off Little Collins Street, smack in the heart of things, and honestly, the parking was a godsend. In a city where finding a spot feels like winning the lottery (especially during peak hours when the office crowds flood in from Flinders Street Station), having secure on-site parking meant I could ditch the car and forget about it. No circling blocks or dealing with those pricey multi-level lots. Check-in was a breeze too – the staff were these friendly locals who chatted about the best hidden cafes in the laneways, like that little spot on Degraves Street where the coffee smells like heaven first thing in the morning. The lobby’s got this modern, understated vibe, with plush armchairs that invite you to sink in after a day out, and there’s always that faint hum of the city outside, but it fades once you’re inside.

What really sold me on Wills Court was how it nailed that balance of being central without feeling overwhelming – I mean, it’s a solid 4-star setup with rooms that are spacious enough to actually unpack in, not those cramped boxes you sometimes get downtown. My suite had these big windows overlooking the bustle below, and at night, the glow from the streetlights mixed with the distant clatter of trams on Collins Street, which was sort of soothing in a weird, urban way (though earplugs might be handy if you’re a light sleeper during rush hour). The beds are ridiculously comfy, with those crisp sheets that make you want to hit snooze, and the bathroom had proper rain showers – none of that weak trickle you dread in older buildings. Breakfast isn’t included, but they point you to the Queen Victoria Market just a short walk away, where you can grab fresh pastries and that iconic Melbourne flat white. Oh, and the Wi-Fi? Blazing fast, which was crucial for me sorting out emails while dodging the winter rain – yeah, pack layers if you’re here in July, it gets nippy. It’s not perfect; the elevators can get a bit crowded during conference season when the convention center nearby fills up, but that’s Melbourne for you.

All in all, if you’re looking for a base that lets you dive into the city’s soul without the hassle, Wills Court is it. You’re steps from Federation Square for those free events, or you can hop a tram to the Yarra River for a sunset stroll – I even wandered over to Hosier Lane for the street art, which is always evolving and smells faintly of spray paint mixed with espresso from the nearby roasters. It’s got that 9-out-of-10 rating for a reason; practical, comfy, and authentically plugged into the vibe. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially for that parking perk – saves you from the stress of navigating Hoddle Grid traffic. If Melbourne’s on your list, this place makes the trip feel effortless.
