What on earth is going on in Melbourne mid-October to cause the Mercure to be $5K/night??

That’s their way of complying with the room availability guarantee, if they have to walk someone, kind of like not saying no but making the price say no!

I figured that was probably the case.

Maybe it's this? Melbourne International Games Week 2025 - Fed Square, Melbourne Australia I wouldn't have thought so, but it's the only thing I can see on

Other Accor hotels are reasonable on that date, so perhaps they're holding back bookings for now, given that normal rates are available until grand final weekend.
