This CBD hotel is transforming one of its rooms into a festive winter wonderland

Live out your Hallmark movie dreams with a cosy, Christmassy staycation

We sadly don't get to experience a picture-perfect white Christmas like our friends in the Northern Hemisphere, so for the past few years the DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne has turned some of its rooms into a cosy winter wonderland. And it's been so popular that the boutique CBD hotel has decided to do it all over again in 2023.

The King Federation View Loft Room has had a Christmassy makeover, and is now lovingly dubbed 'Candy Cane Lane'. Visitors can expect to be completely immersed in the festive spirit, with the room decked out with stockings, candy canes, baubles and a resplendent tree. It was created in collaboration with Ugg Express, so you'll also score an exclusive key chain and a 15 per cent discount code to put towards your very own pair of plush slippers.

Settle in with a hot chocolate and one of DoubleTree's signature gooey chocolate chip cookies and watch as the sun sets over Flinders Street Station, the Yarra River and the MCG. And if you've been bursting to let Santa know what you want for Christmas, during your stay you can write a letter to the man in red and pop it into the provided miniature Australia Post mailbox. 

The package, which starts at $496 per night, is available for bookings between November 24 and December 27. Your stay also includes complimentary parking and a buffet breakfast for two. For more information and to book, visit the DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne website
