Citadines on Bourke Melbourne is a 25-floor serviced apartment tower at 131-135 Bourke Street in the Melbourne CBD, and its most distinctive feature is that every one of its 380 units is a self-contained apartment rather than a standard hotel room. According to Traveloka's listing data, the building was completed in 2010, and the property's official website describes all 380 keys as serviced apartments with separate living and dining areas and a modern kitchenette. That makes it a different proposition from a conventional city hotel: guests get a residential-style layout with somewhere to cook, eat and spread out, combined with the front desk, housekeeping and facilities of a larger hotel.
The property carries a 4.5-star classification on Traveloka and is listed as a Service Apartment. It operates under the Citadines brand, whose official site at discoverasr.com publishes the property's apartment and facility details. Inside the building, the leisure floor is built around an indoor heated lap pool, a sauna, a gymnasium and an outdoor sundeck, as described on the official site, while Traveloka's listing also records pool sun loungers, a TV lounge and a fitness centre.
The official site also notes that the property is GSTC certified, a recognised sustainability certification for accommodation. For travellers who weigh environmental credentials when choosing where to stay, that is a useful point of difference among CBD apartment hotels. Business travellers are a clear focus too: Traveloka's description highlights the property's ability to host business events and corporate gatherings, supported by meeting rooms, conference rooms and a business corner.
The official website lists eight apartment categories, arranged across three layouts (studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom) and two finishes (Deluxe and Executive), with accessible versions of some units. From the entry level upwards, the ladder looks like this.
The entry-level category is the Studio Deluxe, which the official site lists at 34 square metres for up to two guests. It is an open-plan apartment combining sleeping and living space with a kitchenette, suited to couples or solo travellers on a short city break or a work trip who still want to prepare simple meals.
The Studio Deluxe Accessible shares the same 34-square-metre footprint and two-guest capacity, adapted for guests with mobility needs. It sits alongside Traveloka's listing of wheelchair-accessible facilities, accessible parking and an accessible path of travel through the building.
The Studio Executive is also listed at 34 square metres for two guests, positioned as the upgraded studio finish. Travellers deciding between the two studio grades should compare the room descriptions and photos on the booking page to see what the Executive tier adds.
The One-Bedroom Deluxe steps up to 45 square metres for two guests, separating the bedroom from the living area. An accessible version of the same 45-square-metre apartment is also offered. This layout suits longer stays, when having a separate place to work or relax away from the bed makes a noticeable difference.
The One-Bedroom Executive is the most generous of the one-bedroom units at 55 square metres, still for two guests. The extra space makes it a strong choice for corporate travellers on extended assignments or couples settling in for a week or more in the city.
For families and small groups, the Two-Bedroom Deluxe offers 63 square metres for up to four guests, and the Two-Bedroom Executive tops the range at 88 square metres, also for four guests. The official site notes that a fifth person can be accommodated in the Two-Bedroom Executive with extra bedding for an additional fee.
Across the apartments, the official site describes a fully equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator, and lists slippers, dental kits and shaving supplies on request. Exact in-room features can vary by category, so check the per-room details on the Traveloka listing before you confirm.
Facilities at Citadines on Bourke Melbourne lean towards wellness, work and practical long-stay needs. Traveloka's listing and the official website together confirm the following.
Services listed on Traveloka include a 24-hour receptionist, concierge, multilingual staff, luggage storage, laundry service and express check-out. The official site adds room service, daily housekeeping and an on-site launderette, which is handy for guests staying long enough to need a wash. Pets are allowed, with additional charges applying, according to the property's policy on Traveloka, so travellers bringing a pet should confirm the conditions with the property before arrival.
Citadines on Bourke Melbourne sits on Bourke Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. The official site places Her Majesty's Theatre a two-minute walk away and Flinders Lane a seven-minute stroll from the door, putting the theatre district, shopping and dining well within walking distance.
Traveloka's listing does not show an airport transfer service for this property, so plan your own transport from the airport. Travellers from Singapore can compare flights to Melbourne on Traveloka and then pick a taxi or the airport coach into the city. Private parking is available on site for anyone arriving by car, and EV charging stations are listed on the official site for electric vehicles.
Dining here is shaped by the apartment format. Every unit has a kitchenette with a dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator, according to the official site, so guests can stock up and cook breakfast or a simple dinner in their own space. Traveloka's listing data records no dedicated restaurants or bars in the building, though one facility tag mentions a restaurant; because the two signals differ, treat on-site dining as something to confirm with the property rather than plan around. The official site does list room service among its guest services.
The bigger dining draw is the neighbourhood. Flinders Lane, a seven-minute walk away according to the official site, is an easy walk for a meal out, and the wider CBD around Bourke Street offers everything from quick coffee stops to pre-theatre dinners near Her Majesty's Theatre. If you want to fill the days between meals, browse things to do and attractions in Melbourne on Traveloka, from city tours to day trips.
Because breakfast inclusion varies by rate, check the meal details shown on each room option at the time of booking rather than assuming it is part of the stay.
The clearest reason to choose Citadines on Bourke Melbourne is space. With apartments ranging from 34-square-metre studios to an 88-square-metre two-bedroom unit, all with a kitchenette, it suits stays where a single hotel room would feel cramped: families travelling together, colleagues on a project, or anyone in town for more than a few nights.
