Crown Melbourne Accom

Postby Wedgie » Tue Aug 22, 2023 7:24 pm

Interested in people's opinion of the various parts of the Crown in Melbourne if they've stayed there.
Now that Geelong aren't in the finals I get to book a heap of holidays, wish they'd do this most years!
Got a concert to go to at the Crown so thought might as well as make the most of it and do it in class.
What's the best place to stay (and money isn't really a factor)?
Towers, Metropol or Promenade?
I've heard Towers is the best but Metropol is newer and better value and to give the Promenade a miss?
Is it worth getting a room with Crystal Club access?

Yep, just make it to the finals in the premiership years and it would save me a lot of money and nervousness for nothing! :D
Anyway, booked a room in the posh part of the Towers including Crystal Club access, might run into a celeb or two during the inclusive cocktail time. :)

PS Thank for your input Gadj, see you at Prospect this week. Look out though, I'm doing the Pres Lunch, you'll find me slumped on one of the tables outside the Pavilion. :lol:

Hahahaha! If only..... it's been 10 years since we last made it to finals - so it's time for you to share it around :-) I will be at Elizabeth - long story but I'd rather be at Prospect for that game, should be a ripper.

Stayed in the Promenade a couple of years ago which is the cheapest of the three and thought it was decent value for the deal I got (perhaps $250/night). Probably isn't that anymore but anything more than that I couldn't justify.

Promenade - Metropol - Towers in order of price/class, cheapest to most expensive.

Yep have stayed in all 3, Towers if you can stretch that far price wise. Metropol is really nice. Promenade is fine, but more of a budget version of the other 2.
