History of the Windsor Hotel
Built in 1883 by well known architect Charles Webb, The Windsor (originally The Grand Hotel and then The Grand Coffee Palace) is Australia's only remaining grand hotel. Oberoi Hotels acquired the management rights of The Windsor in 1980
Subsequently the Oberoi Hotel chain purchased the property from the Victorian Government in 1990, assuring that in conjunction with the property's National Trust Classification, The Windsor would be preserved.
Impeccably restored in the Oberoi tradition, and following a recent multi-million dollar refurbishment program, it combines Victorian grandeur and opulence with comforts and facilities found only in the most modern establishments.
Its uniquely intimate style and luxurious ambience has established The Windsor as a select haven for executives, dignitaries, royalty and tourists alike for over 115 years.
