We took a mid-week trip flying from Sydney to Melbourne to see the new Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play. On this trip we were delighted to be hosted by the Grand Hyatt Melbourne hotel.

The Grand Hyatt Melbourne is pure luxury, yet wonderfully family friendly! From the moment you stroll past the ultra-exclusive designer stores lining the entrance to the crystal lit Main Lobby, you know this is no ordinary hotel.
Grand Hyatt Melbourne Main Lobby & Reception Desk
The Grand Hyatt Melbourne Main Lobby atmosphere is one of exclusivity and elegance. The reception desk staff’s welcome is as warm and genuine as can be – you just know you and your family are about to be spoiled!
Modern convenience – five star service
Grand Hyatt Melbourne Lower Lobby & Concierge
The hotel Concierge had our taxi doors opened and our suitcases whipped away in a flash. After we checked in, we were on our way up to our 17th floor rooms in no time, thanks to the express hotel elevators. We soon learned that whilst this hotel is historically luxurious, it also boasts every modern convenience.
With several lifts available we never had to wait for a lift once during our stay – and indeed this seemed to set the theme of our stay at the Grand Hyatt. We were never inconvenienced by any hotel service. From the health club, to room service, to a simple desk enquiry – everything was attended to above and beyond efficiently – now that’s five-star service!

During our stay at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne we stayed in two interconnecting en suite rooms on the 17th floor.
Room 1708, a Spa King corner room and room 1709, a Twin room.

Grand Hyatt Melbourne Spa King room
My corner Spa King room was luxury personified. Whilst the room itself was deluxe comfort and elegance all the way, it was the fabulous sweeping views that were the wow-factor. A stunning Melbourne vista stretching down to Federation Square and beyond, along the Yarra River. I found myself ordering frequent room service just to sit and enjoy the view!
Grand Hyatt Melbourne Spa King room
The room’s sumptuous all-marble spa bath ensuite bathroom was just gorgeous, with the bath also serving as a spa bath. There were plenty of large soft towels and luxury amenities included too.

A wardrobe housed all the handy conveniences such as an iron & ironing board, a safe, white robes and slippers.
A large dresser held a flat screen TV, and within was a well stocked mini bar, fridge and tea & coffee facilities. All luxury items of course – every detail had been considered.

Booking a Spa King room at the Grand Hyatt hotel is how to pamper yourself, whether it be on a staycation, a Melbourne weekend away or a Melbourne city holiday.
The Grand Hyatt Twin room

My teenage girls stayed in the adjoining twin bed ensuite room, with a view every bit as gorgeous as mine!

With the exception of the size of the room and the side corner window, their hotel room offered the same luxury features, from the floor to ceiling marble ensuite bathroom (minus the spa bath function) to the tea and coffee drawer and white robes!

Our interconnecting hotel rooms
The best thing about the Grand Hyatt Melbourne for families is the option to expand your accommodation by booking a connecting room.
These interconnecting deluxe rooms mean the kids are close at hand, yet you have your own luxurious space.

With a connecting door between our corner spa room and twin room, I had both privacy yet direct access to my girls.
They had their own accommodation space – and bathroom to mess up! (Let’s face it, there’s nothing worse than having to share a bathroom with your kids when you’re on holiday!)
Apart from the bed configurations and size, there was very little difference between the rooms, including the view – this kept everyone very happy.
Grand Hyatt Melbourne City Club
Grand Hyatt Melbourne City Club gym
Not just a hotel gym and pool, the Grand Hyatt Melbourne has a fully operating health and well-being club, the City Club. It features day spa treatments, personal trainers, an expansive gym, heated pool and even a rooftop tennis court.

Much more than just an exercise and workout room, the Grand Hyatt gym is huge, extending across an entire floor, and into several levels.
There are several weight workout areas in the health club
There are specific weight lifting rooms, banks of all kinds of exercise equipment including weight presses and treadmills, a dedicated Peloton cycle class room and open mirrored spaces.

For the travelling dance troupe or cheer squad, there’s even a large polished floor dance studio.
A rooftop tennis court in the Melbourne CBD
Up a staircase you’ll find a full-sized outdoor rooftop tennis court. Surrounded on all sides by both historic buildings and modern city high rises. This tennis court provides a surreal, totally unique place to play a few sets of tennis right in the middle of the city of Melbourne!

Alongside the tennis court is a basketball half court and several golf driving cages too.
The entertainment and exercise spaces available to the Grand Hyatt Melbourne and their guests are simply mind blowing.
