Pullman City Centre is fourteenth of nineteen, on 25 points, with trams at the door and nothing on its page to say where they go. Accor puts the Swanston Street trams 30 m away and Melbourne Central station 480 m away, a five-minute walk.
Neither is named as a line to Station Pier, so no rail link counts. Our map pin here is a place match, not an address match, so read 3.2 road miles (5.2 km) and 9 minutes with no traffic as close, not exact.
The 204 rooms and suites run 33 to 48 m². Eva's Restaurant and Bar, the Club Lounge and Blossom Rooftop Bar are on site, and the fitness centre has an infrared sauna, but no pool is listed. Breakfast is free only with Club Lounge access, valet is A$65 (about US$45) a day, and self-parking is A$28 (about US$20) a day at a nearby Wilson car park.
I'd pick it for the rooftop bar and the trams, and I'd leave it if you're bringing a pet, which Accor doesn't allow.
Book it if
- Blossom Rooftop Bar and trams 30 m away fit your night
- You'll book a Club Lounge room to get breakfast free
- You'd rather use a nearby car park than pay for valet
Look elsewhere if
- A pool is part of your plan — none is listed.
- You want a firm distance to the pier, and ours comes from a place match.
- Free breakfast matters, and you won't book a club room.
Trams 30 m away, and a cab anyway
The sure way to the ship is a taxi, so the evening can stay local.
Dinner at Eva's, a drink at Blossom Rooftop Bar, or the Club Lounge if you're a club guest.
No ride to the pier is listed, so the taxi is yours to arrange.
Included with Club Lounge access and priced separately for other rooms, per Accor.
The pin is a place match, so book the cab with a little room in the timing.
Cars: valet or the nearby Wilson car park, priced in the parking section.
Swanston Street to the pier
Accor prints no cruise distance, and our pin is a place match. Count on a taxi, not the 109.
Accor names no shuttle between the airport and this hotel.
The hotel lists no ride to the pier.
From MEL without a hotel shuttle
By our routing Melbourne Airport is about 13.6 road miles from Pullman City Centre, roughly 23 minutes with no traffic. Melbourne Central station is a five-minute walk on Accor's count, though SkyBus ends at Southern Cross.
Swanston Street trams are 30 m away and Melbourne Central station 480 m, a five-minute walk, per Accor. Neither comes with a named line to Station Pier, so no rail link counts.
If you drive, the two parking options are priced in the parking section below.
Nothing from the hotel to the pier; a cab is about 9 minutes on our routing.

Which terminal
Station PierMelbourne has one cruise terminal, Station Pier on Waterfront Place, so there's nothing to choose between. The cruise guide lists who sails when.

Distance in the city band earns 20 of 30 and Eva's adds 5. No pool means 5 of 15 for the evening, and the full scale is 100.
