The Prince Hotel St Kilda
2 Acland St, St Kilda VIC, Australia
Function Venue
•In 1936, The Prince was the city’s grandest splash of art deco decadence. In the 40’s the US military set up camp, establishing an officer’s club and pretending not to notice the area relaxing into Melbourne’s red light district – despite a red light topping our rooftop flagpole. In the 70’s it was Pokey’s Drag Show & Pennie’s Nightclub, early institutions of the city’s LGBTQIA scene. Sex appeal and progressive politics. That ringing in your ears is from when The Prince was ground zero of Melbourne’s punk scene in the 80’s. Blood, sweat and beers. Architect Alan Powell was in charge of the clean-up in the late 90’s, with a sharp refurbishment that honoured our art deco heritage. By then, Australians were beginning to suspect our food scene was world-class; restaurant Circa opened its doors at The Prince and proved us right.
And as for right here and now? Prince Bandroom soundcheck is live. Little Prince Wine bar is flowing. Prince Deck is buzzing, Prince Dining Room kitchen is hot, The Atrium is cool and in our 39 boutique Hotel rooms, the beds are ready to be unmade. The event space is vibrant and versatile, making The Prince Hotel a favoured destination for private intimate gatherings, private dinner parties, stylish cocktail parties and corporate functions. With its historical charm, warm hospitality and modern amenities, it offers a unique setting for your private events
It’s great to see you back again, or for the first time, or forever.

Reviews for The Prince Hotel St Kilda
Natalie Sproal
I love this hotel. It’s just different. Not stiff or ostentatious. The rooms are so beautifully done. Gorgeous bathroom and soft furnishings. The best position, central to everything. Complimentary glass of wine. Cheap, secure parking. It just has a good vibe about it . I’ve stayed a few times now and will again.

I feel very disappointed with the restaurant. Food was not bad, and the prices are very reasonable. But service was terrible. The waiter was very rude and sarcastic all time. I felt very uncomfortable. I am leaving in the area and I will be never back !!!! There are much better places, with polite and profesional service!!!
David Grant
Loved it! Clean & tidy, not fancy or pretentious, our kinda hotel. Location was spot on, minutes from the beach, pubs & restaurants. When we're next in Melbourne, we will stay here
Matt Whittle
Fabulous friendly service good beer options but, sadly no point glasses, biggest is a schooner so if you are a pint person like me, a bit disappointing.

We came here for a wedding in the beautiful central courtyard. It was outstanding. It’s just a beautiful spot for a small wedding. Utterly perfect, in fact. Gorgeous garden setting with nice light coming in and lovely plants all around. I’m not sure you can get a much nicer spot. And, the staff here were exceptional throughout, especially the young woman server from near Reading and the young chap (also from the UK) on the main bar. They were outstanding. Both were so happy and pleasant and just so service oriented. This is an excellent venue with great staff. We’d happily come here any time
