The Ultimate Guide to a Girls' Weekend in Melbourne CBD

Planning a girls' getaway is the perfect excuse to catch up, indulge in shopping, explore Melbourne's famous laneway cocktail bars, and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation. But coordinating a group trip requires one key element to be absolutely perfect: the accommodation.

Standard hotel rooms often fall short for groups. Cramming four to six people into a space with one mirror and a single bathroom is a recipe for get-ready chaos.

For the ultimate girls weekend accommodation Melbourne CBD, luxury self-contained apartments are the answer. At Havenly Escape, we've designed our spaces to make group getaways effortless, stylish, and comfortable.

The Secret to Stress-Free Get-Ready Sessions

Anyone who has travelled with a group of girlfriends knows that the hours leading up to a night out are half the fun. It’s when the music is playing, champagne is flowing, and hair straighteners are running.

Here is why our apartments are built for this:

1. Dual Premium Bathrooms

Getting ready for dinner shouldn't involve a roster system. Both our 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom configurations feature two full bathrooms. This means twice the mirror space, no hot water shortages, and plenty of room to get dressed without stepping on each other.

2. Social Living & Prep Spaces

Instead of sitting on the edge of a hotel bed, your group can gather around our spacious dining table or kitchen island. Pour a glass of wine, lay out your outfit choices, and enjoy the pre-party together in a beautifully designed open-plan lounge.

3. Full-Length Views

Located high up on the 39th floor of West Side Place, our floor-to-ceiling windows provide a breathtaking city skyline backdrop. It’s the perfect, photogenic setting for group photos before you head downstairs.

The Ideal Girls' Trip Itinerary (Step-by-Step)

Staying at Havenly Escape puts you in the perfect geographic position to experience Melbourne's best.

Morning: Coffee & Shopping Start your morning with brunch at Higher Ground, one of Melbourne's most iconic cafes, located just across the street. From there, take a short walk or hop on the free tram to the Bourke Street Mall and the premium boutiques at Melbourne Emporium.
Afternoon: Poolside Relaxation Head back to the building to take advantage of West Side Place's resort facilities. Wind down with a swim in the 25-metre indoor lap pool or relax in the sauna before beginning your evening prep.
Evening: Laneway Bars & Dining Walk or tram into the city's heart for dinner. Explore hidden laneways like Centre Place or book a table at group-friendly dining hotspots in nearby Docklands or the Yarra River precinct.
