The Hotel Windsor

Built in 1883, The 5-star Hotel Windsor is Australia's oldest and most cherished Grand Hotel pre-dating London's Ritz and Savoy and The Plaza New York. Celebrating its 130th anniversary in 2013, the centrally located Melbourne hotel combines the elegance of 19th century Victorian charm with the latest in modern luxuries and services. The Hotel Windsor commands the city's finest location for shopping, business, dining and entertainment. Situated within the ‘Paris-end’ of Melbourne, the hotel enjoys a prestigious position directly opposite Parliament House as well as being close to the national and international business offices on Collins Street and the vibrant dining scene of Bourke and Spring Street and Chinatown. The Princess Theatre and Treasury Gardens are across the road with public transport facilities on the hotel doorstep including the complimentary City Circle tram.. The Hotel Windsor offers a superb choice of accommodation featuring 180 rooms and suites and has been the chosen address for politicians, celebrities and Royals including Meryl Street, Katherine Hepburn, Sir Laurence Olivier, Barry Humphries, Sir Richard Branson and Sir Robert Menzies. Each room and suite combines Victorian heritage with everything that is the contemporary: twelve-foot high ceilings, understated and elegant furnishings with 24 hour room service, valet parking and high speed Internet access.
