  • The Arena is luxury at its finest. An exquisite, fully furnished apartment located within the new 'One East Melbourne' development designed by internationally renowned architect Claudio Silvestrin; "a master of perfect details who has dramatically framed panoramic vistas within luxuriously hand crafted spaces."

    This opulent, East Melbourne apartment has been tastefully decorated with the finest furnishings as requested by the interior designer. Come and experience its state of the art, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel Miele appliances and intergrated fridge/freezer. From the spacious living and dining area you can marvel at the panoramic views and take in the vibrant colours of the city night lights that wash through the apartment. With vast floor to ceiling windows and electric blind controls at your finger tips in the living area, you can relax in your own private winter garden (enclosed terrace) where you can watch the tennis on the outside courts of the Melbourne Tennis Centre.

    The impressive master bedroom has a king size bed, built in robes with plenty of storage and a deluxe ensuite. The second bedroom has a flexible bedding setup, as either two singles or one king bed. Take pleasure in the building's luxurious sauna, spa, pool and gymnasium and enjoy the added protection of security parking with secure entry to the apartment. Further conveniences include top of the range European style laundry, complimentary cable TV, wireless internet connection and local calls.

    This grand, self-contained apartment is lperfect for a holiday or short term stay, revered for its outstanding location close to the heart of Melbourne. The Arena guarantees convenient access to major sporting venues such as the MCG, one of the world's greatest stadiums with its ability to seat in excess of 100,000 and the new Rectangular Soccer/Rugby stadium and Rod Laver Arena home of the Australian Open Tennis. Equally accessible are the Botanical and Treasury Gardens, the Parliament buildings in Spring Street and the Myer music bowl. Choose from the 100's of acclaimed Melbourne restaurants renowned for their multi-cultural cuisines before a night at the theatre and take a ride on the colourful Giant Sky Wheel on the Yarra River.  Please note this apartment is located close to the heart of the city and as such the normal hussle and bussle noises of this convenient location may be audible.
