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.

Found myself in the area and stopped into the public bar for dinner on a recent work trip. The bar is tastefully renovated and offers a decent menu - there’s a fancier dining room if that’s your thing. My steak was cooked to perfection and the fries were hot and crispy. The beach and boardwalk of St Kilda are 5 minutes walk away or you can walk along Fitzroy St to take in some of the local atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Loved our stay at the prince, check in staff were super friendly, location is amazing. The room was comfy and modern and even had 2 balconies! I could hear a bit of noise from the street in the middle of the night, however it was st kilda festival so was expecting it! Looking forward to staying at prince again and would recommend to anyone visiting St Kilda!

I visited The Prince Public Bar last weekend and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly. I was served by an American guy who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Highly recommend this place for both tasty food and excellent service!

Just moved to St Kilda to start fresh at university, and the first night out I try to enjoy with friends is completely ruined. As I went to order a drink, some nasty woman—with awful eye makeup and a hideous yellow and black sweater—gave me the dirtiest look and the most revolting attitude for no reason. Absolutely disgraceful customer service. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, especially young people. What an absolute joke. Ruined my entire day!

I have had the best weekend of my life thanks to Tyler and the awesome team at The Prince Hotel. Everything was incredible, the food, wine, the hotel room, the service and the after party next door. Love this place
