Join us for a Melbourne CBD staycation packed with food spots & historic venues during our relaxing stay at the Melbourne Marriott Hotel on Exhibition Street.

Day One – Pizza & CBD Nights

On our first night at the Marriott Melbourne, we head out for a light Italian dinner at Pepe’s Italian & Liquor. Set inside a beautifully restored historic Jewish synagogue dating back to 1859, the mid-20th-century Italian-American atmosphere makes it the perfect place to kick off our city escape.

Day Two – Croissants, Classics & Culture

After breakfast, we wander through the Melbourne CBD toward the hugely popular Lune Croissanterie, patiently lining up for some of the city’s best croissants — including the limited-edition Tim Tam collaboration.

With the café buzzing, we stroll down to the Birrarung Marr precinct along the Yarra River to enjoy our pastries with a view.

Second breakfast complete, we return to the city for a beer at the iconic Young & Jackson’s (originally Princess Bridge Hotel – est. 1861), home to the famous painting “Chloé.”

We wrap up the day back at the Melbourne Marriott Hotel, resting up in preparation of our upcoming last day plans.

Finale – French classics & M Club Luxury

After breakfast, we make the drive for a truly memorable three-course French lunch at Bistrot Thierry in Toorak where we imbibe and enjoy traditional French classics including French Onion Soup, Boeuf Bourguignon & the best Creme Brûlée EVER!
Quality, elegance & timeless class at this traditional French classic.

Fully satisfied, we return to our CBD home base to soak up the luxurious comforts of the Marriott M Club Lounge one last time — the perfect ending to a relaxing Melbourne staycation.

  1. Correct about Madisons. But the question is? Was it worth the wait for the Lune crossiants? 40 minutes is a long time to wait in my book.
