While a country weekend escape is great, your inner-city self can sometimes struggle to let go. Next time you need a break, choose not to choose and stay at The Melbourne Parkview Hotel. You'll still be close to the action, yet far enough away to enjoy a little peace and quiet.

$139 will put you and someone special in a luxurious, 4.5 star City View Guest Room for the night. Your room is furnished with a king size bed, or two singles, 32 inch LCD TV, modern bathroom, separate dressing area, large working desk, mini-bar and tea/coffee facilities.

Today's Deal also includes Wi-Fi access and onsite parking, a buffet breakfast for two at the Lime Restaurant, and a late check out at 1.00pm. Also, because it's going to be that hard to drag yourself away, up to three vouchers may be redeemed to extend your stay to three nights, subject to availability.

A child up to the age of 15 may stay in existing bedding at no additional cost. If you'd like to bring along an older child or an additional adult, they may stay with you on a deluxe portable bed for an additional $45 per night. A room upgrade is also available to a City View Deluxe Room with city and park views for an additional $45 per night.

The Melbourne Parkview Hotel has recently completed an eight million dollar room refurbishment, now offering 206 spacious rooms. Hotel facilities include an indoor rooftop spa and sauna, 24 hour room service, gym, concierge, business centre and daily newspapers.
