Group Accommodation in Melbourne CBD
The group chat picked Melbourne — now pick a place where nobody's stuck in an overflow hotel room three blocks away. Havenly Escape sleeps up to 8 in one apartment, or up to 14 across two apartments in the same building, with a cinema, karaoke room, and BBQ terraces downstairs.
Direct Answer: Premium Group Accommodation in Melbourne CBD
Havenly Escape offers premium group accommodation in Melbourne CBD at West Side Place: a 3-bedroom apartment sleeping 8, a 2-bedroom sleeping 6, or both together for groups of up to 14 in one building. Every apartment has two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and internal laundry. One free secure parking space is included with the 3-bedroom apartment only (please note that the 2-bedroom does not include parking; booking both apartments yields one space total). Marvel Stadium is a 5-minute walk and Southern Cross Station is across the street for arrivals from anywhere in Victoria. Bookings are completed securely on Airbnb.
Apartment Options for Groups
Choose between our spacious 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom configurations depending on your group size.
One Building, Whole Group
Group trips fall apart in the logistics: three hotel rooms on different floors, one person's flight landing late, nowhere to actually be together. Booking one large apartment — or both of ours — solves it. Everyone shares a living room and kitchen, splits the cost of an apartment rather than a stack of hotel rooms, and the double sofa beds flex around odd-numbered groups. Two full bathrooms per apartment (including a master ensuite) keep pre-dinner getting-ready civilised.
The building carries the entertainment so your apartment doesn't have to. Book the karaoke room for the first night, the private cinema for the recovery day, run a virtual golf tournament, or take over a BBQ terrace for a long golden-hour dinner. The 3-bedroom (on floor 39) comes with a bonus the rest of the building doesn't get: its Sky Residences tier adds access to all four levels of residential amenities (including the exclusive Level 11 indoor infinity pool and club lounges on top of the main Level 6 indoor lap pool and facilities) — two pools for one group. It's the group-trip experience without anyone hosting the mess.
The Perfect Base For Every Occasion
Sports Fans
Walking distance to Marvel Stadium for AFL matches and big sporting events. Skip the congested post-match trains and walk right home.
Concerts & Events
Get dressed up together, head out to the show, and come back to a shared lounge room for post-concert drinks.
Business Trips
Colleagues travelling to Melbourne can share costs while maintaining private bedrooms. Includes an internal laundry and fast Wi-Fi.
Interstate Visitors
Ideal for family reunions, weddings, or longer holiday stays where having a central hub makes meeting up effortless.
Unbeatable Central Location
West Side Place puts your group in the centre of Melbourne's best precincts.
Southern Cross Station
Cross the street from SkyBus drop-off. Everyone in your group can arrive independently and find the building with ease.
Marvel Stadium
Minutes away on foot. There's no better location if your group is attending a stadium event.
Docklands & Crown Melbourne
Enjoy group dining at waterfront restaurants or test your luck at the casino—both are a short walk or tram ride away.
Free Tram Zone
Hop on the free tram directly outside to explore Bourke Street Mall, Federation Square, and hidden laneways.
Getting Everyone Here
Southern Cross Station across the street means the group can converge from anywhere: airport arrivals on the SkyBus, regional friends on V/Line from Geelong, Ballarat, or Bendigo, and interstate trains all landing a minute from the front door. One free secure parking space is included with the 3-bedroom apartment only (the 2-bedroom does not include parking; booking both apartments yields one space total), and the Free Tram Zone gets the whole group around the CBD without anyone buying a ticket.
Sleeping Arrangement Note
Our maximum group capacities (up to 6 guests in the 2-bedroom, and up to 8 guests in the 3-bedroom) are supported by a high-quality double sofa bed located in the shared living room.
Please be aware that this means two members of your group will be sleeping in the communal lounge area rather than a private bedroom. We provide full, premium linens for the sofa bed, and this arrangement is exceptionally popular and cost-effective for large groups.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the largest group you can host?
Up to 14 guests by booking both apartments — the 3-bedroom (sleeps 8) and 2-bedroom (sleeps 6) sit in the same West Side Place complex, so the whole group shares one address, lobby, and amenity floor.
How many bathrooms will we have?
Two full bathrooms in each apartment, including a master ensuite — four bathrooms across both. For a group getting ready for a wedding, concert, or race day, that's the detail that matters.
Are parties allowed?
We host groups, not parties. The apartments suit friends and families staying together, and the building's karaoke room, cinema, and BBQ terraces give you celebration spaces that don't put your bond at risk.
Where can the group hang out beyond the apartment?
Resident amenities include a private cinema, karaoke room, virtual golf, two BBQ terraces, and bookable private dining rooms — reserve them via the building's resident app early in your stay.
What about parking for multiple cars?
Only the 3-bedroom apartment includes one free secure parking space. There is no parking included with the 2-bedroom apartment. If you book both apartments, you will have access to one free secure space in total. Additional public parking operates nearby.
