The Westin's page is short, and its biggest number is A$180. Marriott lists check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 11:00, valet parking at A$95 (about US$65) a day, no hotel shuttle and a paid alternative at A$180 (about US$125) one way.
In the text we read, the page names no pool, restaurant or bar, and pets aren't allowed. Our routing puts Station Pier about 3.1 road miles (4.9 km) away, roughly 8 minutes with no traffic.
That A$180 is for an airport run, not the ship. Our airport page prints no taxi fare, because the two tariffs we found conflict.
I'd book it only for the Collins Street address, and I'd phone first to ask what the pages leave out.
Book it if
- The 205 Collins Street address is the draw
- Check-in, check-out and the valet price in print is all you need
- No dog or pet is travelling
Look elsewhere if
- You're after a pool, a bar or an on-site dinner — none is named.
- You'd like a shuttle, and Marriott says there isn't one.
- You want breakfast terms.
A page with times, one valet price and no pool
Three things are in print: the times, the valet price and the no-shuttle line. Pool, restaurant and bar are all missing.
205 Collins Street to the pier in about 8 minutes
From 205 Collins Street the pier is a cab ride out of the city. Pick where you're starting from below.
The paid alternative is A$180 one way, and Marriott says there's no hotel shuttle.
Marriott
Nothing in the listing takes you to the pier; the cab is the plan.
From MEL without a hotel shuttle
By our routing the airport is about 13.9 road miles (22.4 km), 24 minutes, and the airport page covers the cheaper ways.
If you drive, valet is the only parking the page lists.
The page lists nothing that runs from the hotel to the pier.
Landing on sail day? Skip The Westin and use the airport page, which has the cheaper ways in.

Check out at 11:00, book the cab
Tonight runs on Marriott's 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out, and a taxi you book.
Dinner is your own plan, since the page names no restaurant or bar.
Book a taxi for your boarding window — Marriott lists no hotel shuttle.
Whether breakfast is in your rate is a question for the hotel — the page is silent.
Then the taxi; the distance is in the verdict.
The valet rate is above; for the days you are at sea, the pier parking page has the options.
No pool, restaurant or bar named
