History of Crowne Plaza Melbourne
Uniquely positioned as the only absolute riverfront hotel in Melbourne, Crowne Plaza Melbourne’s long-standing history in the city is what makes it an iconic stay today.
The historic riverside site once called ‘Little Dock’ formed a part of the original Port of Melbourne and was used by local sailors and seafood merchants from 1854 to 1930. In 1975 the Charles Grimes Bridge was built connecting the railway to the Victoria Dock, closing the river wharves towards the east. This fate was later sealed by the construction of the Bolte Bridge.
In 1989, the Melbourne Central Hotel opened adjoining the World Congress Centre. Since permits did not exist at that time, it was built right on the Yarra River, something that would never happen today, or ever again. This led to 2006, when Crowne Plaza Melbourne became the only absolute riverfront hotel in Melbourne offering stunning views of the Yarra river to over 100,000 guests a year.

Sustainability at Our Heart
As a part of the global IHG hotel collection, Crowne Plaza Melbourne is proudly putting our green foot forward with our ‘A Greener Stay’ initiative.
It’s the things we do behind closed doors that help make the world as comfortable as a Crowne Plaza stay. We’re committed to installing escalators that are 75% more energy efficient, replacing all light fittings across our 30,000 sqm building to the latest LED sensor technology, as well as ensuring all tapware meets a minimum 4-star water efficiency rating.
This is just the beginning as we continue to upgrade our hotels to ensure more environmentally sustainable stays.
