Paris: the city of light, centre of the known universe, home of romance... ah forget about it, you’re not going there any time soon. On the other hand, there’s the Paris end of Collins Street, handy for all the high-end fashion houses and home to Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, where a staycation brings with it all the style and joie de vivre of a holiday in the French capital.
Right now the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins is offering a Romance the French Way package that starts from $430 per night in a Luxury Corner Room or Junior Suite for two people. On arrival, guests get a bottle of Champagne (yes, the French stuff) and a welcome treat. The package includes breakfast served in the comfort of your room, where you can relax and take in the sweeping views, and an incredibly leisurely 4pm checkout time, because who needs the hassle of being out by 10am?
The Sofitel’s rooms don’t start until Level 36 of the building, so you’re guaranteed sweeping views across Melbourne, Port Phillip Bay and the Yarra River. Junior Suites and Luxury Corner Rooms have spacious lounge areas, guest tablets, Nespresso coffee machines, 106cm TVs and more. The hotel’s No 35 Restaurant is on Level 35, offering exhilarating views while you dine.
Guests can have peace of mind knowing their booking may be modified or cancelled with no charges. So if you’re looking for a hotel stay that’s minimum stress and maximum romance, the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins can deliver the je ne sais quoi.
