Pan Pacific prints both its parking prices — that's the useful part. The hotel's page lists luggage storage, a Family Queen Room, self-parking at A$50 (about US$35) per 24 hours and valet at A$75 (about US$50) a night.
Breakfast comes only with the Wake Up to More offer, and check-in is from 15:00 with check-out until 11:00. Our routing puts Station Pier about 2.2 road miles (3.5 km) away, roughly 6 minutes with no traffic — and the page prints no ride to the ship.
Our research found no Hilton at this address today: it is the former Hilton South Wharf site, now Pan Pacific.
I'd book it for the bag storage and the printed parking prices, and I'd ask what the storage covers before relying on it.
Book it if
- Luggage storage listed on the page matters to you.
- A Family Queen Room suits your group.
- You want to see both parking prices before you arrive.
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast on any rate. Here it's one offer only.
- A named pool or restaurant matters to you.
- You want Pan Pacific to run you to the pier.
Bags held, two parking prices printed
Storage, a family room and two parking prices are on the page — food and drink aren't, and breakfast rides on a single offer.
What's missing: a pool, a restaurant, a bar
The evening
None of the three is named in the text we read. Bags, a family room and the parking prices are what the page does give you, so plan your own dinner.

South Wharf to the pier
From Convention Centre Place the pier is a cab ride of about 6 minutes without traffic. Ask the desk how late it will hold your bags.
Pan Pacific’s own page mentions no airport transfer.
Nothing is listed here, so plan on a taxi and ask the desk how late it can hold your bags.
From MEL without a hotel shuttle
No airport car is listed either. Our routing puts Melbourne Airport about 15.8 road miles (25.3 km) away, 25 minutes; the airport page covers SkyBus and the taxis.
The parking prices are in the parking section below, and they're the hotel's own, not the pier's.
Going out is the same as coming in: book a cab.
Landing on sail day? Skip Pan Pacific and see the airport page.
Distance
~2.2 road mi to Station Pier, our routingThe hotel gives no cruise distance, so this figure is our own measuring.

Tonight starts at 15:00 and finishes with a bag pickup and a cab.
No restaurant or bar is named to fill the evening, so settle where you'll eat before you arrive.
Ask the desk about storage hours, then book a taxi for your boarding window.
Ask which rate you’re on — only Wake Up to More is said to include a full breakfast.
Then the cab to Station Pier, the short leg of the day.
Leaving the car? Compare the hotel's rates below with the pier parking page before you decide.

Send your sail date and we'll ask Pan Pacific about storage hours and the offer that includes breakfast. Nothing is charged on the form.
If Pan Pacific is not the one
Bags, parking and breakfast
Does Pan Pacific Melbourne store luggage?
Yes, it's listed, but with no hours or fees. Ask when you book.
Self-park or valet at Pan Pacific?
The hotel prints both prices (see the parking section). One is per 24 hours and the other per night, so ask whether they match.
Is breakfast included at Pan Pacific?
Only with the Wake Up to More offer, per the hotel. Nothing on the page says a plain rate includes it.
Is Pan Pacific the old Hilton South Wharf?
Yes, on the same site: 2 Convention Centre Place. Our research found no Hilton listing there today.
Is Pan Pacific near enough to walk to Station Pier?
Not by our half-mile rule. It's a drive, and the hotel prints no distance of its own, so use the figures in the verdict and book a cab.
Booking the cruise too?
Send your line and sail date. We'll ask Pan Pacific about storage and breakfast — no obligation.
