Follow in the footsteps of international celebrities and dignitaries in the hallowed halls of Melbourne’s grandest hotel: The Hotel Windsor. With previous guests ranging from English and Hollywood royalty to former Australian prime ministers, this five-star, heritage-listed property is world-renowned for its original Victoriana décor and as the home of Australia’s longest continual afternoon tea service. Sitting at the top of Spring Street, in Melbourne’s CBD, this grand hotel couldn’t be closer to the action – it’s opposite Parliament House and surrounded by some of the city’s best-known bars and restaurants. A short wander north gets you to the happening neighbourhoods of Fitzroy and Collingwood, while the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), locals’ preferred place of worship, is just a 15-minute walk away.
Built in 1883, The Hotel Windsor retains its heritage charm but, thanks to a few updates, includes all the modern amenities of a five-star hotel. Luxurious rooms and suites feature marble bathrooms and generous furnishings that encourage total relaxation. Dining onsite is decadent, with afternoon tea offered in the classic dining room, and lunch and dinner inspired by classic English pub fare served in the cosy Cricketers Bar. The hotel also offers access to coveted dining destinations – modern Southeast Asian restaurant SUNDA and contemporary Australian fine dining restaurant ARU are both within the hotel's hospitality group and just a short walk away. Speak with the front desk to book your table.
