The Hotel – The historic jewel in Melbourne’s crown
Built in 1883, The Windsor Melbourne seamlessly blends its rich heritage with modern luxury. Built in the Victorian Gold Rush era and named in honour of the British royal family, it has long been a favoured retreat for international celebrities, including Katharine Hepburn, Sir Anthony Hopkins and George Harrison of The Beatles.
Older than renowned hotels like The Ritz in Paris, The Savoy in London and Raffles Hotel in Singapore, The Windsor Melbourne has carefully preserved many of its original architectural features, including the opulent Grand Ballroom. These heritage elements are beautifully balanced with contemporary amenities such as elegantly designed rooms featuring marble bathrooms and plush furnishings for the ultimate comfort.
Guests can indulge in afternoon tea in the classic dining room, where tiered trays offer scones, sandwiches and pastries, paired with champagne and house-blended teas. For a more casual experience, visit The Cricketers Bar for lunch or dinner with a menu inspired by traditional English pub fare. If you’re in the mood to explore, nearby dining options include the modern dishes of Antara, just a five-minute walk away, or the distinct flavours of Australian cuisine at ARU.
The hotel’s prime location also offers easy access to Melbourne’s vibrant neighbourhoods like Fitzroy and Collingwood, and a leisurely 30-minute walk will take you to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) that’s beloved by locals.
