Taylor Swift checked into the presidential villa at Crown Towers in Melbourne, Australia, elevating her stay to the pinnacle of luxury during the Australian leg of her Eras Tour.
Nestled within the opulent five-star hotel, the Cruel Summer singer’s choice of accommodation—a lavish $16,000-per-night penthouse suite—epitomizes the lavishness surrounding her global musical journey.
Spanning an impressive 11,733 square feet, the presidential villa offers an array of extravagant amenities designed to cater to every conceivable comfort.
Taylor, 34, enjoyed the luxury of two elegantly appointed bedrooms, a sophisticated dining area perfect for hosting intimate gatherings, a spacious living room that promises relaxation and entertainment against the backdrop of Melbourne's skyline, and the convenience of a private elevator and dedicated butler service, ensuring the stay was as seamless as it is sumptuous.
The master bedroom, a sanctuary of comfort and style, boasts a plush king-size bed, an expansive walk-in closet, and a marble bathroom equipped with a spa bath and rain shower, offering Taylor an oasis of tranquillity.
The suite's second bedroom, featuring two queen beds and a marble ensuite bathroom, underscores the villa's commitment to comfort and luxury for all its guests.
Beyond the sanctuary of the bedrooms, Taylor can entertain guests or unwind in the dining room, distinguished by its mahogany table for six and an adjacent cocktail bar—a perfect setting for toasting successes or simply enjoying a quiet evening.
The adjoining living room, with its inviting couches and chairs, provides panoramic views of Melbourne, blending the suite's interior elegance with the city's vibrant energy.
Strategically located, the hotel is a mere 10-minute drive from the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Taylor is slated to captivate audiences with three sold-out shows starting Friday.
In a city renowned for its love of quality shopping, the hotel stands out by offering some of the best-known luxury labels in the world like Graff Diamonds, Louis Vuitton and Hugo Boss on its entry level.
Exclusive Crystal Club
During her stay, Taylor would have access to the Crystal Club for private check-in and concierge services, where guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and evening canapes in an exquisitely appointed lounge with deep leather chairs and a sun-filled open terrace.
Taylor would also be offered the bespoke service, which is specially designed for those desiring world-class facilities, privacy and personalised attention for events and parties.
Fine dining
Taylor would have no doubt reserved a table at Nobu, the world’s most recognised Japanese restaurant, famous for its innovative new style of Japanese cuisine and exceptional service.
Nobu started as a business partnership in 1994 between Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, his partner's actor Robert De Niro, producer Meir Teper, and managing partner Richie Notar and the award-winning restaurant is known for its incredible dishes like black miso cod, seafood ceviche, crispy rice with tuna and matcha cheesecake.
