At the eastern end of Spring Street, the ” Parliament Precinct” of Melbourne, stands a Hotel which is entwined in the history of this City – a clear reminder of the “Marvellous Melbourne” era.

Ladies lunched, deals were made, weddings celebrated.

She was known as The Duchess – the grand old dame and still oozes style in her 129th year. Not even the forfeit of her liquor licence at the height of the building boom could keep her down. Raffles Singapore, London Savoy, the Ritz in Paris, the Waldorf Astoria New York, were all built after The Windsor, enabling her to hold a special place in Hotel history.

In 2009, Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle welcomed the announcement of a plan to build a 92 metre glass tower at the rear. The current owners say this is vital to the future viability of the hotel. Time will tell.

Food and beverages continue to enhance the visitors fine dining experience.

The eastern end of the City holds many hidden secrets.
