Über diesen Tip
The Hotel Windsor on Spring Street, in the Parliament precinct, is Melbourne's only surviving purpose-built grand Victorian hotel and is on the Victorian Heritage Register. Afternoon tea in its grand dining room has long been a Melbourne institution. If a night there is out of budget, book the tea instead and take in the historic rooms. Reserve ahead for weekends and dress smartly.
