Hotels near Melbourne Airport - MEL, Melbourne

Location and Transport

Located 14 miles (23 kilometres) north-west of Melbourne’s CBD, Melbourne Airport (also known as Tullamarine Airport) is the second-busiest passenger airport in Australia and its only major airport that is open 24/7. You can get in and out of this great hub by travelling on the Skybus Express, which operates 24/7 and departs every 10 minutes. Public buses (SmartBus Route 901 - Routes 478/479/482) are a cheaper but much slower option, while taxis cost around AUS 60, including the compulsory airport departure fee.

Nearby Hotels and Airport Facilities

The standout facility of Melbourne Airport is its 18-hole golf course, which includes a green that places players less than 60 metres below passing aircraft. Less extreme facilities include airport parking, a vast duty-free shopping area, luggage storage and even a pet hotel. If you’d like animal-free accommodation, however, there are hotels located next to the airport, and more options available in Tullamarine.

Terminal Information

All four terminals are connected by a single terminal precinct (except for Tigerair, which is just a short walk away), meaning passengers can easily walk between connecting domestic and international flights.
