The Windsor

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.
