Me, Myself & Melbourne: voco’s Solo Travel Packages Redefine ‘Mum Time’ This Winter

Tired of hiding in the pantry just to get a moment’s peace? Same. But this winter, there’s a much more glamorous way to escape the chaos — and it involves a king-sized bed, a bottle of Prosecco, and no one yelling “Mum!” from the other room.

voco Melbourne Central has launched not one, but two dreamy solo travel packages as part of IHG’s Night On My Own (NOMO) campaign — and it’s basically everything burnt-out parents never knew they needed.

Whether you’re a wellness warrior or a culture junkie (or just desperate to sleep in without tiny elbows in your ribs), the Reset NOMO and Escape NOMO packages are your golden ticket to guilt-free me-time in the heart of Melbourne.

The Location: Urban Oasis, 6 Floors Above the Chaos

Smack-bang in Melbourne’s CBD, voco Melbourne Central is all slick interiors, skyline views, and warm, quietly luxurious vibes. There’s a rooftop plunge pool if you’re brave, Blacksmith Bar & Grill for a cheeky solo cocktail, and rooms that feel like the “before” shot in every mum’s fantasy escape.

Bonus: there’s no one asking for snacks every 14 minutes.

Option 1: Reset NOMO – Like a Spa Day, But Better

Feel like you’re running on caffeine and dry shampoo? The Reset NOMO package is your personal permission slip to stop, breathe, and be horizontal for longer than five minutes.

Your stay includes a two-hour spa session (yes, TWO HOURS), courtesy of Spa Bar Melbourne — think luxurious massage, glow-up facial, and no conversations about Paw Patrol. It’s designed for maximum restoration, minimum interruptions, and possibly a sneaky nap after breakfast in bed.

Option 2: Escape NOMO – Culture, Cocktails & No Kid Menus

For those who’d rather hit a gallery than a massage table, the Escape NOMO package is pure grown-up fun. You’ll get a customised list of the best local events, exhibitions, and experiences, courtesy of the hotel’s Escape Concierge — all curated to your tastes, with zero judgement if your ideal night out includes both contemporary art and dumplings.

Add a bottle of bubbly on arrival and a plush king bed to come home to, and you’ve got a mini city escape that ticks every box.

Every NOMO Stay Also Includes:

• Overnight stay in a Standard King Room or Premium King with Bathtub
• Complimentary bottle of Dal Zotto Prosecco (cheers to that)
• Breakfast in bed for one (no little fingers stealing your bacon)
• Late checkout at 4 pm — because why rush perfection?
• A luxe self-care kit with Victoria’s Secret fragrance mist, hydrating face mask, Spotify playlist, journal and mags
• Honestly, it’s giving: “Sorry fam, I’m busy reconnecting with my pre-kid identity.”

Why We’re Obsessed

Let’s be honest — solo travel often gets framed as indulgent or scary, especially for parents. But voco flips that script. It’s not about running away from family life — it’s about refilling your cup so you can pour from it again without snapping.

Whether you’re a first-time solo traveller, a seasoned self-care warrior, or someone who simply can’t remember the last time they had a bath alone — NOMO is your sign. You deserve a night on your own, and this is how you do it well.
