In the heart of Melbourne

BEST Western Riverside Apartments offer a different perspective on Melbourne’s skyline. Occupying the top floors of a 17-storey building on Flinders Street, they overlook the Yarra River to glittering Southbank beyond.

The four-star serviced apartments are a short walk from the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Aquarium, Southgate, the Arts Centre and Crown Casino, and the free City Circle tram stops outside.

With one, two and three bedroom apartments for up to eight people, they suit a variety of corporate gatherings, families and groups of friends.

The two bedroom apartment is light and spacious, with large windows on two sides. The long living area features modern sofas, a flat screen TV and a dining table and chairs. A generous kitchen includes all the mod cons and there is a washing machine and dryer. 

One bedroom has an ensuite, while the other is adjacent to the main bathroom, which has a full size bathtub. Bedding can be configured as kings, queens, doubles or four singles. 

With the entrance on tree-lined Highlander Lane and lots of restaurants nearby, the apartments feel like a little Melbourne secret.
