Where to stay Round 1 2026 v Storm

G'day everyone. 
Taking my son ( it's his 16th birthday pressie) and my 17 yo daughter to round 1 in Melbourne. 
Hoping with the Storm rivalry (and the Lomax shenanigans) we get a decent away crowd. 
Question, can anyone recommend a hotel within walking distance of the ground. Not overly fussed on price as I want to make it a special occassion. I've done the googling and there appears to be quite a few but information is limited. I'm looking for one with onsite parking and preferably a pool. As we'll be there 2 days I'd like the hotel to be a bit of a sanctuary we can relax in after being out and about exploring. 
Thanks in advance everyone. Very confident for round 1. Storm have some big outs so I think we have a great chance of getting a result.

  • I have stayed at the Wuest on Jolimont and the  antra on Jolimont. No issues with either.

  • So many options, all within walking distance (nobody drives to the precinct down here), but so long as you have pre-selected a commiseration spot on Swan St or Bridge Rd all will be fine. 
    Go to Vlado's (steaaaaaak) and Mtn Culture Brewery and all will be fine. 

  • Milano Apartments is up Swanston Street towards Queen Victoria Markets and Lygon Street.

    Quieter spot just outside of the hustle and bustle.

  • I stayed at 381 Cremorne on Punt Street. Really good apartments and about 300 meter walking distance to AAMI.

  • Thanks all. I've booked Mantra.
