1 Hotel Melbourne
An indoor pool and garden spa near Crown Casino and the Convention Centre
About this hotel
1 Hotel Melbourne pairs its indoor swimming pool with a genuine spa floor rather than a single wellness room, sauna, steam room and hot tub included, and adds a garden that gives the wellness routine somewhere green to unwind beyond the water, a rarer feature in a CBD-adjacent tower. Yoga classes run on site for guests who want to bookend a swim with something more structured. The Docklands address keeps Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and Crown Casino under a kilometre away, useful for conference attendees who need to be back at a venue quickly, while Eureka Tower and St Paul's Cathedral are both within 1.7 km for sightseeing on foot. Rooms carry air-conditioning, private bathrooms with bathrobes, minibars and soundproofing, with city or river views depending on the floor.

Our take
This suits conference and business travellers who want proximity to the Convention Centre without giving up a proper spa floor, since the sauna, steam room and garden turn a work trip into something closer to a wellness stay between meetings. The garden setting is a genuine point of difference from typical CBD tower pools, favouring guests who want quiet green space over a rooftop scene. Anyone chasing nightlife on foot should note Docklands quiets down earlier than the CBD laneways, though Crown Casino under a kilometre away covers an evening out.
- ✓Book a yoga class the morning after arrival to reset before a conference day
- ✓Use the garden after the pool rather than heading straight back to the room, it is built for lingering
- ✓Walk to Crown Casino for dinner options beyond the hotel, it is under a kilometre away

Why guests love itThe garden next to the spa floor is what set this apart, somewhere to sit after the pool and sauna instead of heading straight back upstairs. Being under a kilometre from both the Convention Centre and Crown Casino meant conference days and evenings out both stayed simple without a taxi. The yoga classes were a good addition to bookend an early swim before a full day of meetings.
