Southbank is situated on the banks of the Yarra River right on the edge of the Melbourne business district.
Here you can eat, drink and be entertained or shop until you drop.
Once a muddy area turned into a busy industrial precinct, the early 1990's saw this same area being dramatically transformed into what it is today.
This area is now a densely populated district with high rise apartments, office buildings,an Arts and Leisure precinct, a retail, eating and entertainment precinct and ....there is much more to come
So close to the CBD, accommodation here at one of the Hotels is such a great idea.
