You may consider staying at one of the Geelong Hotels located near the Eastern Beach in Geelong, since this is the most attractive place in the city, especially popular with its shark-proof enclosure. Don’t get confused, since many buildings labeled as hotels are actually pubs and don’t accept guests. Here are some of the hotels around the Eastern Beach area.

Four Points by Sheraton Geelong

Located right on the waterfront, this is the leading hotel in Geelong, preferred mainly by businessmen. Four Points is extremely luxurious. It has 109 rooms and studios, with prices ranging $160 from to $330. Several rooms have a direct view of the beach. You may experience some trouble finding a parking space within the busy hotel parking area, but you can always park on the street in front.

Vailima Waterfront Apartment

Located in a historical Edwardian home built in 1908, the Valima Waterfront Apartment is an excellent choice to spend a romantic holiday with your partner. The interior is very modern and corresponds to the latest trends. Each apartment consists of a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a king-sized bedroom. The price is $330 for couples nightly.

Comfort Inn

There are two Comfort Inns located near the waterfront of Geelong – Bay City and Eastern Sands. Both of them are small, neat and comfortable, with acceptable prices for budget travelers. Eastern Sands has 25 rooms at a price of $85 per night and Bay City has 18 at $90. Each Comfort Inn has a guarded parking and a special restaurant – the Thai Elephant at Bay City and the Fish Bowl at Eastern Sands. Both offer delicious food and are worth checking out.

Mercure Hotel

Located in the center Geelong, yet close enough to the Eastern Beach, the Mercure Hotel offers 138 luxury rooms and suites, starting at about $110 and up to $180 per night. All rooms are modernly decorated and very comfortable. A swimming pool is available, just in case you’re feeling that the beach is too far away.

Rose Garden Motel

Finally, even deeper in the city, there is the Rose Garden Motel. It offers 15 rooms in four-star category, with prices ranging from $105 to $150. The motel has a luxurious spa and is especially suitable for families – there is a nice playground for kids and a family barbeque area. The whole building is surrounded by a beautiful rose garden.
