The Cullen
Getting there
South of the Yarra River in Melbourne's city centre on Commercial Road, the striking contemporary Cullen building rises above hip shopping quarter Prahran, a credit card's throw from boutique- and bar-packed Chapel Street. It's black with protruding lime balconies, so you can't miss it.
- Planes Fly into Melbourne Airport (www.melbourneairport.com.au), north-west of town at Tullamarine, which handles regular international and domestic flights – then it's just a 40-minute taxi ride south to the hotel. There's also a 24-hour airport Skybus shuttle to Southern Cross Station in the CBD (AU$16 for a single; AU$26 return), which departs every 10 minutes for the 20-minute ride; then grab a cab from there.
