Metropol Melbourne
Contemporary urban luxury. Think floor-to-ceiling windows, bespoke artwork in every room, and a pool deck that feels more like a city-sky bar than a hotel amenity. It's polished without being uptight — the kind of place that works equally well for business travelers and weekenders.

Why It Matters
One of the largest purpose-built luxury hotels in Australia at 649 rooms across 28 floors, the Crown Metropol is notable for its rooftop heated infinity pool with panoramic Melbourne skyline views, its position inside the Crown Entertainment Complex, and its step-up room categories (the 81 sqm Loft and 184 sqm Apartment rival some of the best suites in the city).
Crown Metropol is a purpose-built, 649-room luxury hotel rising 28 floors above Melbourne's Southbank precinct. It sits inside the broader Crown entertainment complex — casinos, restaurants, bowling alleys, escape rooms — all connected, all within stumbling distance of your room. The hotel pitches itself as the more contemporary, less stiff sibling to the adjoining Crown Towers, and largely delivers: rooms are well-designed, the rooftop pool on level 27 is a genuine highlight, and the sheer scale of the operation means there is always something happening.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
City Luxe
King room configured to face city views directly. Custom king bed, chaise lounge, desk, and floor-to-ceiling windows. A solid mid-tier option between the standard Luxe King and the corner Urban Luxe.
King
High Floor Luxe King
Same footprint and layout as the standard Luxe King, but positioned on the upper floors where the Melbourne skyline views are genuinely spectacular. Worth the upgrade if you care about waking up to the city.
King · 39 sqm
Loft
A genuine step up. The Loft is styled like a NYC apartment — 81 sqm with a separate enclosed bedroom, a lounge that seats four for dinner, and a bathroom with both a deep soaking bath and a walk-in rain shower. Three HD televisions. The separate living and sleeping zones make it feel far less like a hotel room and much more like a rented apartment. Located on levels 8 to 24.
King · 81 sqm
Luxe King
The entry-level room that isn't really a compromise. At 39 sqm, it fits a custom king bed, a chaise lounge, and a full writing desk without feeling cramped. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull in city light. The oversized shower is a genuine upgrade over what you'd find at most hotels in this price bracket. Located on levels 8 to 26.
King · 39 sqm
Luxe Twin
Identical layout to the Luxe King, but configured with two queen beds. Good for friends or families traveling with kids. Same floor-to-ceiling windows and clean contemporary finishes, same level range (8 to 26).
Two Queen · 39 sqm
The Apartment
The flagship. At 184 sqm, it has its own private entryway, a full kitchen, a lounge-dining room that seats six, and an enclosed master bedroom with a spa bath that earns its own Instagram caption. Located on level 25, with bay and city views. The Apartment comes with complimentary buffet breakfast for two at Mr. Hive, valet parking, a bottle of French Champagne on arrival, and priority check-in with the Duty Manager.
King · 184 sqm
Urban Luxe
A corner room with two full walls of floor-to-ceiling windows — more glass, more light, more cityscape. The wrap-around view is the main draw here. Custom king bed, chaise lounge, desk, and the same boutique amenities throughout.
