LOCATION:Located
opposite Parliament House in the heart of Melbourne, Australia’s
capital of the arts, The Windsor’s stately towers are an historic
landmark in this vibrant cosmopolitan city. Originally known as The
Grand Hotel, The Windsor was renamed in 1923 in honour of a visit by
The Prince of Wales.
The Windsor is the last
truly grand Victorian hotel in Australia. Built in 1883 and elegantly
refurbished over one hundred years later, the Hotel combines classic
Victorian charm with every 21st century luxury. The Windsor was awarded
‘Best Luxury Hotel’ in 1999 by the Victorian Tourism Awards
and has been classified by the National Trust.
