The Crown Towers Hotel is a vast luxury hotel located on the southern bank of the Yarra River. Beautifully (and centrally) situated, with panoramic views of Port Philip and the city, this sprawling complex is a perfect base to explore one of Australia's most cosmopolitan cities.

As such it epitomises boho chic and with its truly multinational population the food and the nightlife have a very diverse and global feel. Be sure to make some time for a coffee in Fitzroy or St Kilda to sample some of the city's unique, laid-back atmosphere.
