Short Stay Accommodation in Melbourne
Good short stay accommodation in Melbourne is central, comfortable and easy. Somewhere you can drop your bags and head straight out into the city.
Brady Hotels & Apartments offers short stay accommodation across five properties in the Melbourne CBD, from serviced apartments with full kitchens to comfortable urban hotel rooms. We’re Melbourne-owned and operated since 2014, so our team actually knows this city. We’ll point you toward the best coffee, the quietest laneways and the spots that don’t make the guidebooks.
Every property sits within or near the free tram zone, so getting around is easy. For trips that run beyond a few weeks, our long stay accommodation in Melbourne is the better fit.
Why choose Brady for
your short stay in Melbourne
Flexibility to suit your trip
A quick business trip has different needs to a weekend away with friends, so we offer both short stay apartments and urban hotel rooms across the CBD. The apartments at Brady Hardware Lane and Brady Flinders Street come with fully equipped kitchenettes, separate living areas and laundry facilities, handy for early starts and longer trips.
The urban hotels at Brady Central Melbourne, Brady Jones Lane and Brady Elizabeth Street keep things simple, with modern rooms and everything you need for a good night’s sleep.
Location that works
Our short stay Melbourne apartments put you right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of Melbourne Central, Queen Victoria Market, Flinders Street Station and Southbank.
Every property connects to the free tram zone, giving you easy access to the MCG, Rod Laver Arena and the arts precinct without hunting for parking.
Local knowledge included
We’re not a chain with a call centre interstate. Our team lives here, so ask us where to grab lunch near your meeting, which laneway bar stays open late, or how to dodge the crowds at Queen Vic Market. We know Melbourne’s best kept secrets because we’re one of them.
