Special Hotel Deals Melbourne | PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport

For just AUD25, enjoy access to our leisure facilities including gymnasium, heated indoor pool, spa.

For $25, you can get access to the gym, swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room and shower/change room facilities at PARKROYAL, the hotel right across the road from Melbourne Airport.

You also get access to the Bar Airo lounge on Level 4, where you get free Wi-Fi and a 15% discount off food & beverages. The offer is valid between 6am and 11pm.

Honestly, this seems like a great option if you have a 3+ hour wait between flights at Melbourne Airport. It's cheaper than an airport lounge - just doesn't include free food or drinks.

Even flying international, sounds like a great option, I find swim/spa/sauna to be really relaxing would be nice before a long haul flight.

Thanks for this @Mattg
It's a good deal to refreshen up between flights.
Perhaps the imminent opening of Novotel & Ibis at Tulla next month has prompted this...

I finally got around to trying this out on the weekend! It was exactly as advertised and IMHO a very good deal.

Here's my review:

Swim, Gym, Sauna & Shower at Melbourne Airport for $25

Rather than sitting in the terminal or a lounge, you could access the gym, swimming pool, sauna and showers at PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport - located right across the road from the terminals - for just $25.

A reminder there is the newer option, the Higher State Spa, part of the Novotel/Ibis styles.

There are memberships for airline staff ( I believe APAM staff have this as a complimentary employee perk).

At one stage there was discounted parking/free parking.

For casual entry it’s price matched at the Park Royal rate and includes:

• Health Club Access
• Virtual Exercise Classes
• Infrared Sauna
• Compression Recovery
• Pool Access
• Towel Service

I’ve tried both, both for delayed flights at Melbourne Airport where it made sense to freshen up with both options.

The Park Royal option was great back in the day, but the facilities are newer, nicer and more modern with the Higher State Spa, naturally it doesn’t have the spa unlike the Park Royal, I guess my conclusions are both are the same price, have similar inclusions, one is a bit more dated, but I imagine people will be guided by how far they want to walk or where their delay or operations were originating from (ie Terminal 4 versus Terminal 1) when considering a flight disruption expense on a delay or just to freshen up on a long layover in general.
