Arrive by Air
The helipad on Level 88 turns the airport run into the first act of the stay — twelve minutes from Essendon, twenty-five from Tullamarine, zero from the idea that transfers should be dull.

Twelve Minutes, Sky-Level
The flight crosses the docks, follows the Yarra in and lands on a rooftop with the whole city laid out for inspection. Arrivals are met at the pad by a concierge with the lift already waiting.
Beyond airport runs, the pad serves coastal charters — the Peninsula for lunch, the Twelve Apostles before the crowds, a return in time for the salon. Slots are coordinated with Melbourne's controlled-airspace rules by our flight desk.

What Sets It Apart
Airport Links
Essendon in 12 minutes, Tullamarine in 25 — luggage travels by road and beats you to the suite.
Scenic Charters
The Apostles, the Peninsula, a circuit of the bay — charters arranged with a picnic from the kitchen.
Certified Operators
We contract only twin-engine IFR-rated operators with Melbourne City helipad experience — no exceptions.
Pad-to-Suite Service
A concierge meets the aircraft; you can be in your suite inside four minutes of rotor shutdown.
The only check-in queue is the one you skipped
The Arrival Sequence
Three quiet steps — the desk handles everything between them.
Book the Slot
Tell the concierge your arrival window — the flight desk confirms weather, aircraft and the pad slot.
Land at Level 88
Follow the Yarra in, land to the city at your feet, and hand the luggage to the ground crew.
Descend to Suite
The private lift takes you directly to your floor — check-in happens in the suite, not a lobby.

Before You Book
The three questions the desk hears most — answered plainly.
Yes — private aircraft are welcome by prior permission. The desk needs 48 hours' notice, pilot details and adherence to the published noise windows.
The flight desk makes the call by midday prior; a scrubbed flight converts to a chauffeured transfer at no charge difference, and the fee is refunded.
Standard charter limits apply — roughly 15 kg soft luggage per seat. Excess travels by road with our valet team and usually arrives before you do.
