Game, Set, Stay: Make Your Australian Open Experience Even Better

From touchdown to match point, travel made easy.

Every January, Melbourne comes alive as the world’s best tennis players take centre court for the Australian Open. From five-set thrillers and late-night matches to the electric atmosphere around Melbourne Park, it’s one of Australia’s biggest sporting events and an experience every tennis fan should enjoy at least once.

Whether you’re travelling interstate or flying in from overseas, where you stay can make all the difference. Instead of rushing straight into the city after your flight, start your Melbourne getaway with a seamless stay at Novotel Melbourne Airport.

Check in just moments after landing, unwind with a drink or meal at Boccata Restaurant & Wine Bar, then make your way into the city via the convenient SkyBus to Southern Cross Station before connecting to Melbourne Park. After an unforgettable day of world-class tennis, return for a restful night’s sleep before your next Melbourne adventure or flight home.
