The Hotel Windsor

The Windsor is Australia’s most loved and renowned grand hotel, pre-dating The Savoy in London, The Plaza and The Waldorf Astoria in New York, The Ritz in Paris, and Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Established in 1883, it combines the classic beauty and architecture of the Victorian age with the graciousness of that bygone era. On 3 June 1923, with renovations complete, the hotel hosted a luncheon attended by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales. In honour of this occasion, the hotel has been appropriately renamed The Windsor. Located across the stately Parliament House and next to the famous Princess Theatre, The Windsor is only steps away from Melbourne’s luxury boutiques, theatres, laneways and Chinatown, with the picturesque Treasury, Fitzroy and Carlton Gardens a short walk from their doorstep. Hotel Windsor offers five private function rooms that are ideal for conferences, dinners and lavish weddings. This five-star hotel in Melbourne has the facilities, catering and dedicated team to deliver an unforgettable experience. The heritage-listed Grand Ballroom is finished in the rich hues of its original colour scheme; a resplendent setting with soaring stained glass domes and windows and two large marble fireplaces. A wooden dance floor is concealed under the carpet and can be revealed for wedding dances and other celebratory occasions. Sitting at 310 square metres in size, the Grand Ballroom can accommodate up to 350 guests for a cocktail party, 200 for a banquet, and 180 for a wedding reception with a dance floor.
