Melbourne CBD Business Accommodation
A hotel room makes you live, work, and eat in one room. Havenly Escape gives corporate travellers a full apartment in the CBD's western core — separate space to work, sleep, and decompress — with the airport SkyBus and every train line directly across the street.
Direct Answer: Premium Melbourne CBD Business Accommodation
Havenly Escape offers premium Melbourne CBD business accommodation at West Side Place, directly opposite Southern Cross Station. Choose a 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom apartment with fast Wi-Fi, a full kitchen, and internal laundry. One free secure parking space is included with the 3-bedroom apartment only (the 2-bedroom does not include parking; public parking operates nearby) — ideal for consultants on multi-week engagements, project teams sharing a base, and executives who'd rather not live out of a hotel room. The building's gym opens at 5am, and meeting and function rooms are available in the residents' lounge. Bookings are completed securely on Airbnb.
Built for the Working Week
The practical math favours an apartment. Two colleagues sharing a 2-bedroom each get a private room and their own bathroom for less than two comparable hotel rooms, with a shared living space to debrief in. Internal laundry means a Monday-to-Friday engagement needs half the luggage, and the full kitchen breaks the cycle of hotel breakfasts and room-service dinners.
The location works as hard as you do. Southern Cross Station across the street connects you to the airport SkyBus for Friday flights home, while the Free Tram Zone puts Collins Street, Docklands' corporate towers, and the legal precinct minutes away. Back at the building, the gym opens at 5am — early enough to train before the first call — and the residents' lounge includes bookable meeting and private dining rooms when you need a professional space outside the office.

Unrivalled Transport Access
Our accommodation at West Side Place offers the most comprehensive transport links in the city. From Southern Cross Station, you have direct access to the SkyBus to Tullamarine Airport, the V/Line regional train network for day trips to Geelong or Ballarat, and the entire metropolitan train grid.
You are also situated directly within the Free Tram Zone, making daily navigation across the Melbourne CBD completely free and effortless.
For Teams and Extended Stays
Project teams can book both apartments — a 2-bedroom and a 3-bedroom in the same building — to house up to 14 people with two kitchens and four bathrooms between them. For engagements running weeks rather than days, apartment living compounds: groceries instead of per diems, laundry instead of dry-cleaning bills, and a routine that feels like home rather than a hotel corridor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the apartment set up for remote work?
Yes — fast Wi-Fi throughout and living/dining space that comfortably doubles as a workspace, with separate bedrooms so calls don't compete with rest. The residents' lounge also offers bookable meeting rooms for anything client-facing.
Can I get documentation for my expense claim?
Yes. Booking through Airbnb gives you itemised receipts suitable for corporate expense claims, with your dates and amounts clearly recorded.
How do I get to the airport for an early flight?
The SkyBus to Tullamarine departs from Southern Cross Station, one minute from the door — no pre-booked taxi needed, even for a 6am flight.
Is there somewhere to train before work?
The building gym opens at 5am and includes an outdoor terrace, with a 25-metre indoor lap pool, steam room, and sauna on the same amenity floors for winding down after a long day.
Do you host teams or longer corporate stays?
Yes. Book both apartments to accommodate up to 14 across one building, and contact us via Airbnb for multi-week engagements — the full kitchen and internal laundry are what make long stays genuinely sustainable.
