Melbourne Hotels Near Flinders Street Station: Explore the City with Punthill

Looking for accommodation near Flinders Street Station? Punthill’s two apartment hotels are at either end of Flinders Lane. Both are a short walk from the urban attractions, with apartments that give you room to spread out, a kitchen to cook in and laundry facilities for longer trips.

Punthill Flinders Lane

Punthill Flinders Lane is perfectly positioned between Elizabeth and Swanston Streets, with Degraves Street’s cafés right on your doorstep and Flinders Street Station just moments away. Couples can settle into a Studio or One Bedroom Apartment. Travelling with a child? The Superior One Bedroom has an extra room with a single bed. For bigger groups, the Two Bedroom Open Plan Apartment sleeps up to five. Every apartment comes with a kitchen or kitchenette, and there’s a guest laundry on site. Hire a bike from reception to ride along the Yarra, and bring your four-legged friend too, as the hotel is pet-friendly (fee and conditions apply).

Punthill Manhattan

At the quieter east end of the lane, Punthill Manhattan sits close to the Paris end of Collins Street and the leafy Treasury Gardens. With One, Two and Three Bedroom Apartments, there’s room for the whole family or group under one roof. Every apartment has a full kitchen and laundry facilities, plus large New York-style steel-frame windows that fill the rooms with natural light. Keep up your routine at the on-site gym, then step out to some of Melbourne’s best restaurants, all within walking distance.

Staying on Flinders Lane puts some of Melbourne’s most iconic sights within easy reach, from riverside gardens to the city’s grandest stages.

Wander Through the Royal Botanic Gardens

Cross Princes Bridge and follow the Yarra to the Royal Botanic Gardens, a 38-hectare oasis in the middle of the city. Stroll past tranquil lakes, sweeping lawns and plant collections from around the world, or find a shady spot for a picnic. Entry is free and the Gardens are open every day, so it’s an easy morning or afternoon escape from the bustle of the CBD. Pair your visit with the Shrine of Remembrance right next door.

Visit the Shrine of Remembrance

Just beside the Gardens, the Shrine of Remembrance is Melbourne’s grand war memorial, honouring Australians who have served. Explore the galleries beneath the Shrine, then climb to the upper balcony for sweeping views back towards the city skyline. General entry is free, making it a meaningful and easy addition to your day.

Catch a Night-Time Show at the Regent Theatre

End your day in style at the Regent Theatre on Collins Street, just a short walk from Punthill Flinders Lane. This grand theatre hosts some of Melbourne’s biggest musicals, while the historic Princess Theatre on Spring Street is close to Punthill Manhattan. Make a night of it with dinner on Flinders Lane before the show, then stroll back to your apartment when the curtain falls.

Tucked away on Cohen Place in the heart of Chinatown, Punthill Little Bourke places you among Melbourne’s best food, culture and nightlife. Her Majesty’s Theatre and The Comedy Theatre are just moments away, and Bourke Street Mall and Melbourne Central are within walking distance. Choose from Studio, One Bedroom or Two Bedroom Adjoining Apartments for up to five guests, each with a kitchen or kitchenette, a washer and dryer, and a dedicated workspace. There’s a meeting room on site for business travellers, accessible studios on request, and pets are welcome (fee and conditions apply).

Find Some Evening Calm at St Patrick’s Cathedral

A short walk east on Eastern Hill, St Patrick’s Cathedral is one of Melbourne’s most striking buildings, with soaring Gothic Revival spires and beautiful stained glass. Visit in the late afternoon, when the city slows down, and take a quiet moment as the evening light fades over the grounds. Looking back across the gardens towards the city skyline is a peaceful way to close out a busy day of sightseeing.

Eat Your Way Through Chinatown & Queen Victoria Market

Food lovers are spoilt for choice at Punthill Little Bourke. Melbourne’s Chinatown is one of the oldest Chinese communities in the Western world, and its laneways are packed with dumpling houses, noodle bars and late-night eateries right outside your door. For a quick grab during the day, head to Queen Victoria Market, within easy reach by foot or free tram. Browse the deli hall, sample fresh produce and pick up treats from the food stalls, or stock up on ingredients to cook back in your apartment. Plan around the market’s trading days, as it’s closed on Mondays and Wednesdays.

All three hotels offer serviced apartments in Melbourne CBD, inside the Free Tram Zone and with pets welcome. Here’s how they compare at a glance.

A standard hotel room is fine for a night, but for a real Melbourne getaway, a Punthill apartment gives you so much more.
