Spend a night (or longer) here and the reasons become fairly clear: the rooms are good, the location is better than most people expect, and everything operates with a consistency that makes it natural to want to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel sits within <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/au\/hotels\/location\/melbourne\/victoria\/australia\">Melbourne<\/a>&#8216;s Docklands, in South Wharf, right on the Yarra, a short walk west of the CBD. It&#8217;s a waterfront position that feels calmer than the CBD without making you feel too far from the action.

The Yarra is on one side; Port Phillip Bay and the city skyline are on the other. Deluxe King rooms come with solid timber accents, a king bed and a soaking bath in the ensuite. The design draws on the precinct&#8217;s working wharf history: raw metal details, warm timbers, nothing too showy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Families also have good options. The Two Bedroom City Skyline Suite has room for two children under 12, and the Family Queen configuration works well for a single-room stay. The Yarra Suites and Panoramic Suites step things up further \u2013 180-degree views from the Panoramic live up to the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skip a sleep-in for breakfast at Dock 37<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dock 37 Bar and Kitchen is the main restaurant, and hotel breakfast connoisseurs won&#8217;t be disappointed. Expect a full buffet with hot dishes, an omelette station, eggs cooked to order, bircher yoghurt, cold meats, pastries, cereals and salads. It&#8217;s a generous spread, the kind that can set you up for a day exploring the city or just holing up in the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the evening, the kitchen shifts to an Italian-leaning dinner menu built around local and native Australian produce \u2013 land and sea proteins, pasta, risotto Above the bar, a floating wine gantry holds more than 500 bottles, suspended mid-air. The room itself is well-suited to a solo dinner or a table of four \u2013 perfect if you&#8217;re checking into Pan Pacific Melbourne with friends for a staycation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pacific Club Lounge is an all-day operation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth-floor Pacific Club Lounge has an outdoor terrace and views across Melbourne, and it operates across a longer stretch of the day than some other inner city hotel clubs. With all-day refreshments, evening drinks and canapes service from 5pm \u2014 champagne, wine, beer, basic spirits \u2014 and a high tea service on weekends from noon to 4pm, you&#8217;ll likely always find a reason to swing by the Club Lounge for another bite or sip. Guests in Pacific Club King Rooms or a Yarra Suite get access included, which means breakfast in the lounge as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re one to gravitate to all activewear all the time while travelling, it&#8217;s worth noting that smart casual dress code applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There&#8217;s a 24-hour gym<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fitness centre runs around the clock on Precor equipment \u2013 cardio machines, free weights, strength training \u2013 and gets decent natural light. While there&#8217;s no spa on-site, in-room treatments can be arranged through the concierge if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re after. What the hotel does have is an Indigenous art gallery on the fourth level \u2013 a rotating collection of Aboriginal paintings and sculptures. The foyer also hosts changing exhibitions every few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">South Wharf is a better base than Melburnians admit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Wharf sits just west of the CBD and gives you a good address from which to <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/best-things-to-do-in-melbourne\/\">see and do<\/a> Melbourne&#8217;s best bits. If you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/melbourne-weekend-guide\/\">travelling to Melbourne<\/a> for an event at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, it connects directly to the hotel via an internal walkway on the first floor \u2013 very handy if you encounter Melbourne&#8217;s famously unpredictable weather. DFO South Wharf is also next door for a shopping morning. The Yarra River walk takes you into the CBD in ten minutes, past Crown Melbourne, Marvel Stadium and the Docklands precinct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Southern Cross Station \u2013 the city terminus for the Skybus airport route \u2013 is an easy walk away. Valet parking is available at the hotel if you&#8217;re driving in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Melbourne<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Discover Melbourne\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_006RF00000YH6DVYA1\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_hotel cacheid_7113482cc6069baac70b3f8546afa786\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/offer\/quincy-hotel-melbourne-victoria-australia\/006RF00000YH6DVYA1\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"offer Flash carousel LuxPlus   \" data-name=\"Quincy Hotel Melbourne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/kcmbz0v5jj4apg0nijf.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/kcmbz0v5jj4apg0nijf.webp 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/kcmbz0v5jj4apg0nijf.webp 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/kcmbz0v5jj4apg0nijf.webp 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/kcmbz0v5jj4apg0nijf.webp 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/kcmbz0v5jj4apg0nijf.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Quincy Hotel Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><\/div><div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>Melbourne, Victoria<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Quincy Hotel Melbourne<\/div><div class=\"tagline\">Melbourne Vibrant Flinders Lane Escape with Daily Breakfast &#038;
