The Como is the splurge to pick for a kitchen, and the one to ring before you trust. Accor's page lists 111 rooms, apartments with full kitchens, and an indoor heated pool with a retractable roof.
The page doesn't state whether the hotel is open — so ring before you book. Accor lists check-in from 14:00, check-out up to 11:00 and no pets.
South Yarra is the farthest of the eight from the pier — about 4.1 road miles (6.7 km) by our routing, roughly 10 minutes with no traffic — and 16.9 road miles from Melbourne Airport. The page names no ride, no breakfast terms and no parking price.
I'd book it for the kitchen and the pool — but only once the hotel has confirmed it's taking guests.
Book it if
- You want a kitchen of your own
- You'd like an indoor pool with a retractable roof
- Chapel Street, South Yarra, is where you want to wake up.
Look elsewhere if
- You want the hotel's opening confirmed on its page. It isn't.
- You want the shortest cab to the pier.
- You travel with a pet. Accor says no.
Parking at South Yarra is a blank
At the hotel
Guest parking not statedNo parking information appears on The Como's page.

Waterfront Place: charged, no ratePorts Victoria says the pier's spaces in Waterfront Place are limited and charged, and gives no rate.
Source: ports.vic.gov.auIf you're driving, start with Melbourne cruise parking for the pier, and use the cruise guide to check the lines.
Chapel Street to the pier
Chapel Street to the pier is a cab ride of about 10 minutes with no traffic — ring the hotel, not the listing.
Nothing on The Como's page about an airport transfer.
No pier run is listed on the page we read.
From MEL without a hotel shuttle
The Como lists no airport car either. Melbourne Airport is about 16.9 road miles (27.2 km) from Chapel Street by our routing, 30 minutes. For SkyBus and the taxis, see the airport page.
If you drive: no parking is stated.
Nothing on the page offers a ride to the ship — book a taxi.

The kitchens and the indoor pool are on the page. Whether the hotel is open, and what it charges for parking, aren't.
Confirm it is open, then the cab
Tonight starts with a phone call to confirm the hotel is open, then Accor's 14:00 check-in.
Indoor pool with a retractable roof, and no restaurant named.
The page lists no ride, so the boarding-window taxi is yours to book.
Nothing on breakfast.
Then the cab to Station Pier — the distance is above.
The Como lists no parking, so the pier parking page is the next stop for a car.
