If you have booked a weekend getaway at West Side Place Melbourne, you are perfectly positioned to experience the very best of the city.
Located at the corner of Spencer and Lonsdale streets, this premium residential precinct is more than just a place to sleep—it is your gateway to Melbourne’s famous dining, shopping, and entertainment culture.
Here is your guide to the best things to do right on the doorstep of your Melbourne CBD apartment accommodation.
1. Catch a Game or Concert at Marvel Stadium
You couldn't find better accommodation near Marvel Stadium. Just a 5-minute walk from West Side Place, Marvel Stadium hosts blockbuster AFL matches, international music tours, and major entertainment events. When you stay this close, you can avoid the post-event public transport rush and be back in your apartment relaxing while others are still queuing for a train.
2. Dine and Play at Southbank and Crown
A short stroll down Spencer Street across the Yarra River brings you to the vibrant Southbank promenade and the Crown Entertainment Complex. Enjoy world-class dining, catch a movie, or experience the famous fire pillars lighting up the night sky.
3. Explore the Laneways (For Free!)
Because West Side Place is accommodation near Southern Cross Station, it sits right on the edge of the CBD's Free Tram Zone. Jump on a tram running up Bourke or Collins Street and explore Melbourne’s iconic laneways. Grab a coffee in Hardware Lane or discover hidden street art in Hosier Lane without spending a cent on transport.
4. Shop 'Til You Drop
Melbourne is Australia’s fashion capital. From West Side Place, you are a quick tram ride away from the Bourke Street Mall, the upscale boutiques of Collins Street, and the massive Emporium Melbourne shopping centre.

You don't even have to leave the building to have a great weekend. Guests at Havenly Escape enjoy exclusive access to the world-class amenities within West Side Place.
