Fodor's Expert Review Mercure Ballarat Hotel
613 Main Rd., Ballarat, Victoria, 3350, Australia
This single-story accommodation is spread out over a large property dotted with gum trees next to Sovereign Hill; rooms are furnished in classic style, with dark green and timber notes, or contemporary white. The on-site Billy's Bistro is an atmospheric casual Mediterranean restaurant with a light-filled dining area that's warmed by a wood fire in winter. There's also a swimming pool, gym, day spa, and jogging track available to guests. The large lobby area with its comfortable armchairs is a pleasant place to sit and relax after a day's sightseeing.
