Same order as the list above. Room counts and the breakfast, parking, and shuttle marks come from each hotel's own listing data. A dash means the hotel's data doesn't list that detail, not that it's unavailable.

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book a room block in Melbourne for a tournament or busy season?
Request your room block as early as possible, especially if your group is traveling during peak tournament season or a large convention. Hotels in Melbourne can fill quickly when events bring in teams and spectators, so submitting your request several months ahead gives you a better chance of securing the rooms you need. For smaller or off-peak dates, a few weeks' notice may be enough, but earlier is always safer.
How does billing work for a group stay booked through Engine?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can receive one invoice for the entire room block instead of tracking individual charges. You have multiple payment options to choose from, and there is no membership fee to use the platform. This makes it easier to manage the booking and keep your group's travel expenses organized.
How does a group rate work when booking hotels in Melbourne?
When you book a room block, the hotel quotes a rate for the entire block instead of charging its public rate for each room. This group rate applies to all rooms in your block for the dates you reserve. The hotel holds those rooms until a cutoff date, after which travelers are assigned to their rooms.
How do I request group rates from hotels in Melbourne through Engine Groups?
Submit your request with your travel dates and the number of rooms you need. Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for stays of 9 or more rooms. You can search and compare hotels in Melbourne on Engine, then let Engine Groups take care of the rest once you've chosen your property.
What counts as a group hotel booking, and what if I need fewer rooms?
A group hotel booking is 9 or more rooms for the same dates. For that size, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking. If you need 8 rooms or fewer, you can book those yourself directly on Engine without going through the group process.
