With TFE Hotels spanning Docklands, Southbank, Flinders Street, and the city’s creative fringe, this guide breaks down where to stay, what’s on nearby, and when to book for the ultimate Melbourne experience.

1. Docklands: Waterfront Energy Meets Modern Comfort

Melbourne’s Docklands precinct has transformed from industrial port to a harbourside playground of restaurants, bars, and boutiques.

Stay at Adina Apartment Hotel Melbourne Docklands — a polished apartment hotel surrounded by water views and urban sophistication.

Why it’s ideal:

• Steps from Marvel Stadium and The District Docklands
• Waterfront dining at Cargo, Urban Alley Brewery, and Berth
• 15-minute tram to Federation Square

Local insight: Docklands hosts over 12 major events annually, including White Night and New Year’s Eve fireworks that draw more than 300,000 visitors. Book early from September for the summer surge.
