We have always loved The Hotel Windsor. It has soul or atmosphere or an old world elegance about it that has always appealed to us. We were warmly welcomed by the front desk staff. As we were staying for 5 days we lashed out on one of their Windsor Suites which did not disappoint. It was the perfect home away from home and a good starting point from which we were able to walk to the various shows we attended and view some of Melbourne. Breakfast in the dining room was a great way to start the day. Room service for a couple of the evenings was prompt and perfect, delivered by personable and amiable staff. The High Tea on Sunday was very enjoyable and since we attended the 2.30pm sitting ensured that there was no need for another meal that evening as there was such a variety of sweets and savouries to partake. Just walking down the elegant centre staircase each day or strolling through the hallways were experiences to be enjoyed. What can I say...we love The Hotel Windsor.

The hotel itself is a little tired but does conjure up a bygone era of elegance. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the service is spectacular! The valet saw that I was checking out and grabbed my bags to put in the car for me. The location is perfect and valet parking made for a seamless experience.

I recently had the pleasure of organizing a styled shoot at the Hotel Windsor in Melbourne, and their support made the experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we stepped into this historic and beautifully maintained venue, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail, warm hospitality, and willingness to accommodate our needs brought an extra layer of elegance and ease to the shoot. The stunning architecture and timeless charm of the hotel provided the perfect backdrop, elevating the entire aesthetic and atmosphere. The combination of their professional service and the iconic setting made this project a resounding success. If you're looking for a venue that adds sophistication and impeccable service to any event, I highly recommend the Hotel Windsor.

WOW… a friend from Melbourne suggested a visit while visiting from interstate. The high tea didn’t disappoint. I’ve never had a high tea with an extra buffet of cakes, chocolate fountain plus endless sandwiches and scones… delicious… the service is also amazing. Thank you

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.
