Our stay at The Hotel Windsor was truly a taste of luxury. This beautiful, historic hotel immediately impresses with its stunning architecture, especially the grand staircase and the warm, inviting lobby. Our room was incredibly spacious, with large windows offering a picturesque view of Parliament House. One of the highlights was simply wandering the halls, admiring the extensive collection of artwork and reading about the many famous guests who have stayed there, including movie stars, sports legends, and royalty. The hotel’s rich history added a sense of grandeur to our stay. We had an unforgettable experience dining at One Eleven, where we were treated to a performance of the play Gluttony, which took place at the table right next to us, while we enjoyed a delectable three-course meal. The combination of exquisite food and live theatre made for a truly unique and memorable evening. Overall, The Hotel Windsor offered an extremely comfortable and luxurious stay in a prime location, within easy reach of theatres and trams that made exploring the city a breeze. Highly recommended for anyone seeking elegance and history in the heart of Melbourne.

Stayed for 4 days at the wonderful hotel. The service is absolutely incredible! Every staff member was so nice and helpful. The food there is amazing! So Devine! The rooms are beautiful, the building interior has a such a cinematic old British look. The building itself is gorgeous and such a great location, right at the train station and close to all the essentials! Would 100% recommend to anyone! You will definitely be seeing me again!

We had afternoon tea today. Dimitri was an amazing host. He had a chat with us, was personable and made the experience fun while maintaining a classy professional air to him the whole time. The food and tea was spectacular and drinking was silver teapots and beautiful china was the icing on the cake. Very special and gorgeous ambiance :)

As a wedding photographer I've worked at The Windsor many times and always had a fabulous experience, however my partner and I recently decided to treat ourselves to a staycation here for 3 nights for my birthday and our experience far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, every interaction with the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. They were attentive, accommodating, and always with a smile. We were so impressed by their hospitality and kindness. Our room was beautiful, clean, and exceptionally comfortable. The breakfast each morning was delightful, and the service remained impeccable. For those who appreciate history and architecture, the hotel's rich beauty and historical significance is fascinating. There are many interesting details scattered throughout the building, so take the time to wander the hotel and enjoy them. I couldn't recommend staying at the Windsor more!

Last week I was in the hotel for a high tea, it was a surprise for my birthday. We got a window seat, congratulations from the staff and a wonderful high tea. We enjoyed the food and the tea and the beautiful entourage. As it was my 50th birthday, it was a special birthday for me. Then, a staff member came with the cutest chocolate cake and a candle. Happy Birthday!! It made my day, and made me feel very special. Thank you all for being so thoughtful.
