Melbourne Hotels
Melbourne is the capital city in the state of Victoria, Australia. The city's Central Business District (CBD) serves as the area's financial and business hub; however, Melbourne offers much more than business. Cultural opportunities abound. Melbourne is home to the Australian Ballet, Princess Theatre, National Gallery of Victoria, Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Federation Square, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and Aboriginal Heritage Walk through the Royal Botanical Gardens. Shopping is another popular draw to Melbourne. Visitors come to shop at Rose Street Artist's Market, Brunswick Street boutiques, designer stores on Chapel Street, and the historic block-size Melbourne General Post Office. Eating and drinking is an enormous part of Melbourne culture. The city is home to Chinatown, pubs, jazz bars, parlors, and nightclubs, and is known for its old-world coffee culture, seafood restaurants, and bistros. Sports enthusiasts get their fill with year-round sports including the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australian Rules Football, Australian Tennis Open, and Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix.
