Where to Stay in Melbourne and Sydney

Melbourne and Sydney are two of Australia’s top destinations, and of course, the cities have great accommodations for all preferences. If you are a Marriott Bonvoy member (and I highly recommend being a member to one or two hotel groups), you will have a great variety of choices for where to stay. Here are Melbourne and Sydney Hotel Recommendations:

Pier One Sydney Harbour, Autograph Collection

For a quieter, boutique luxury hotel, consider staying directly under the Harbour Bridge at the Pier One Sydney Harbour. Every time you step out of the hotel, you even get the enjoy views of the Opera House just across the way. Uber or taxi rides into CBD is just 10 minutes away.
