Here are top luxury hotels in Melbourne that regularly offer exclusive/VIP packages, plus what those VIP inclusions typically look like and how to secure them.

Recommended properties (what VIP packages include)

• Crown Towers (Crown Melbourne) — Regular “Crown Towers Experience” and similar direct offers (champagne on arrival, breakfast for two, valet parking, resort/spa or F&B credit on some packages). Great for high‑end suites, spa access and private-dining experiences. (crownhotels.com.au)

• The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne — Club-level / “Ritz-Carlton Club” rooms and suites give private check‑in, dedicated Club concierge, a Club Lounge with multiple daily culinary presentations (breakfast, afternoon tea, evening hors d’oeuvres) and personalised service.

How to access the best VIP packages and upgrades

• Book the hotel’s own VIP/experience offers or loyalty‑member rates (many properties publish “Experience” or “Club” packages on their site). Example: Crown Direct’s packages and insider program. (crownhotels.com.au)
• Use luxury travel programs (American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, Virtuoso, etc.) — they often add guaranteed late checkout, daily breakfast, a property amenity credit, and higher upgrade priority. These programs can significantly increase VIP inclusions. (americanexpress.com)
• Book Club/Club‑level rooms or suites directly (explicitly include “Club” or “Club InterContinental / Ritz-Carlton Club / Langham Club” in the booking) to guarantee lounge and concierge access. (ritzcarlton.com)
• Call the concierge before arrival to request upgrades, airport transfers, in‑room surprises (champagne, flowers), private dining or bespoke experiences — many VIP perks are arranged this way. (Hotel pages above list concierge/club services.) (langhamhotels.com)

Quick booking tips

• Compare: hotel direct vs. AMEX/ Virtuoso/ preferred partners — sometimes partner packages add a USD/AUD credit + breakfast and guaranteed late checkout. (americanexpress.com)
• Read T&Cs: VIP inclusions (credits, early check‑in, lounge hours, blackout dates) change by date and offer — always confirm at booking. (Hotel offer pages show current terms and availability.) (crownhotels.com.au)

If you’d like, I can:

• Pull current VIP offers and exact rates/availability for specific dates (I’ll check dates and blackout periods), or
• Compare a shortlist (e.g., Crown Towers, The Ritz, Sofitel) and show the exact inclusions and prices for a travel window you pick.
