Eight Hotels Australia, pioneering concept of a luxury budget hotel
MELBOURNE, Australia, July 17, 2008. Complementing our sister property in Sydney, this 114 room hotel, bar and restaurant has undergone a multi-million dollar refurbishment to become the Pensione Melbourne.
Specifically designed for a new class of budget-conscious leisure and corporate traveller demanding style, comfort, hospitality, technology and value for money. The Pensione fuses stunning heritage building features with contemporary design and breathtaking service to create Australia's pre-eminent budget boutique hotel experience.
The hotel is centrally located in the heart of the CBD, within walking distance of Melbourne's key cultural, entertainment and leisure attractions and perfectly positioned adjacent to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Spencer St transport hub with convenient access to all of Melbourne and beyond.
The Pensione room types cater for single, double, twin, triple and family needs with all rooms elegantly designed by Edge Interiors incorporating work space, mini-bar fridge, air conditioning and heating, 32 inch LCD television with cable channels and IDD telephones.
