Is there any advantage to staying at Mantra Hotels rather than other hotels in the area?
The best way to explain it, we offer a apartment style rooms which are a home away from home with all the luxury and expectations of a fully serviced hotel offering, room service, round the clock reception, restaurants on site etc. Being an apartment style room, they are larger than most hotel rooms, offering comfort and space to “spread out”. 

The properties in Melbourne offer solutions for all reasons to travel to the city, whether it is for business, attend one of the best sporting events in the country, enjoy a famous culinary experience, or just for shopping. We cater for all markets. Our guests will experience first class service from the moment they check-in until they check-out. The three company brands, BreakFree, Peppers and Mantra have all locations covered in the CBD cities along with many across Australia. With the business model we have, the group is able to continue to re-invest and ensure the hotels are at a top standard that our guests expect. 


What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in time is at 2:00pm and check-out time is at 10:00am. However, if you would like a late check-out, please let reception know at time of check-in and they can arrange it for you, subject to availability of course. Equally, if you arrive earlier than 10:00am and there is a room available it’s yours.


What is included in the business centers?
There is PC offering internet, along with all the typical office applications. There is also a printer available. Business Centers are not currently available at all hotels, but there are plans to introduce them by the end of 2010


Do you have any current promotions you would like to share with the Travel Agents?
We are currently offering a special at all Melbourne Hotels via the GDS. Please have a look at the MP Chain Code, each hotel will have a “Great Rates and Value” promotion stay for 3 nights and pay for 2. We are also launching an Agents’ Newsletter in the next few weeks which will keep the industry up to date with all of the Mantra news.
