Melbourne and Adelaide hotels are easily searchable on the travel website, and the “Near an attraction” feature helps families find Adelaide and Melbourne hotels near where they want to spend most of their time. Expedia's user reviews also are helpful, often serving as the deciding factor on exactly where to stay. Families traveling to Adelaide or Melbourne this summer need only go to Expedia to research and book their hotels, and also get the best prices on flights and cars.

July 2010 – A summer holiday can bring together a family like no other event or activity throughout the rest of the year. During this concentrated time together, a family makes memories to last a lifetime. Finding the perfect hotel for a summer holiday in Melbourne or Adelaide proves easy on Expedia. The travel website has listings for more than 200 Melbourne hotels and more than 60 Adelaide hotels, with Expedia deals available throughout the offerings. Travelers can search by hotel class, location, theme and brand, plus “Near an attraction,” which allows families to narrow their options to hotels near what they want to see and do.

Holiday planners start by going to the Melbourne or Adelaide hotel guide and narrowing the results. Hotel classes range from two to five stars in Melbourne, with Adelaide hotels ranging from three to five stars. Expedia divides Melbourne hotels into 12 locations, and Adelaide hotels are broken into four. Hotel themes include airport, apartment, boutique, business, design/boutique, family, luxury, self-catering and spa. More than 10 different hotel brands are represented in each of the city's hotel guides. Guides are available for all major cities, covering the globe from hotels in Hong Kong to hotels in San Francisco.

When it comes to attractions holiday planners can search near, there are more than a dozen in each city's hotel guide. Brighton Beach, Luna Park and the Melbourne Cricket Ground are attractions families might want to be close to, and Expedia offers multiple Melbourne Hotels from which to choose that make that easy. Adelaide attractions include Adelaide Festival Centre, East End Cafe Precinct and Grange Beach, just to name a few. Expedia lists multiple Adelaide hotels near each.

To make their final decision, holiday planners often use Expedia user reviews. They are insightful, and the volume of reviews allow planners to get a good picture of whether or not a hotel would suit their needs. For example, a user review had this to say about the Cosmopolitan hotel in Melbourne: “Clean room with kitchenette. Good value for family of three ... Easy access to city via tram. Close to beach and al fresco dining. Will come back.” Such a review would steer a family toward this particular hotel, when looking at the many Melbourne hotels on Expedia.
