DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Melbourne Beach Oceanfront
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if a beachfront hotel with ocean views matters more to you than price, and you accept paying extra for some basics. Budget-minded travellers will get higher scores for far less at our other two Melbourne picks.

This is our Luxury pick in Melbourne, United States. It suits couples and families who want to wake up by the sea. The property lists a beachfront setting, a pool, a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Skip it if value is your priority. Guests complain about high room rates plus extra charges for parking and breakfast, and both of our cheaper picks scored higher or close to it.
Location and getting around
The address is 1665 North State Route A1A. Guests rate the location 9.4 out of 10 and describe a beachfront setting near restaurants, shopping and the airport.
The two nearby places in our data are not short walks. Indian Harbour Beach is about 5 km away, roughly 63 minutes on foot by straight-line estimate, and Satellite Beach about 7.3 km, roughly 91 minutes. Both are far, so you will need a car, taxi or public transport to reach them. For a beach stay, though, the beach itself is the main draw and it is right there.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.7 out of 10 from 617 reviews. In our sample of 10 eligible properties it placed joint sixth on guest score, so several cheaper hotels were rated higher.
What guests like most is the setting. They mention direct views over the ocean and beach, and the sunrises. The location near restaurants and shops also gets credit.
The main criticism is value. Room rates feel high to some guests, and parking and breakfast cost extra on top.
Price and what you get versus our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, were about €148.67 per night. The sample median was €105.29, so this is clearly an upscale choice. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Comfort Inn & Suites Melbourne-Viera, scored 8.4 at about €69.77 per night. Our Best Value pick, Home2 Suites By Hilton Melbourne Viera, scored 9.2 at about €94.56 per night.
So what does the extra money buy? Mainly the oceanfront position and the views. If you do not need to be on the beach, Home2 Suites gives you a higher score for roughly €54 less per night. If the sea is the point of the trip, this is the pick.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 hotels in Melbourne. For the Luxury slot, five-star hotels take priority, and a four-star hotel can only step in if it scores at least 8.5.
The DoubleTree is an official 4-star hotel with an 8.7 score from 617 reviews, which cleared that bar. Its beachfront setting and 9.4 location score set it apart.
Before you book
Budget for extras. Guests report charges for parking and breakfast, so check the current parking fee and whether breakfast is in your rate. The breakfast offer listed includes continental, American, vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus breakfast to go.
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. If an ocean view is the reason you are booking, confirm the room type includes one, as views can vary by room. Check pool and gym opening times for your dates.
