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.

It’s great to see you back again, or for the first time, or forever.

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

The Public bar is pleasant, the food quite good with the usual pub fare, the wine list is a problem, on a visit on Sunday evening, only two wines by the glass, a shiraz and pinot noir at $15 plus, which is sad as the two available were very ordinary, less management and more hospitality would help, Fitzroy Street is going through a renaissance at the moment with the expanded Fifth and a new sports bar at the old Ritz Hotel opening soon, time to lift your game!

First of all, the good. The location is excellent and the interior (front bar) clean and nice. Service was good as well. The negative is really just one thing, but it's pretty big. They've changed the name on the exterior to "Kween" (of Wales) and put up gay colouring which I didn't see when I went in. It was almost a Blue Oyster moment although to be entirely fair, it didn't feel that way when I was there. I'm afraid that the "in your face" naming is a turn off and not family friendly. I feel they should respect the hotels heritage and drop the "in your face" stuff. Then I think you'll find the place will appeal to everyone. That said, thank you to the staff: they were great.
