Children's Afternoon Tea
Our Children's Afternoon Tea reimagines Australian childhood treats - Golden Gaytime, Wagon Wheels, Milo-inspired delights, Vegemite scrolls and more! During the July School Holidays (Victoria), it includes a flowing CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN with strawberries, marshmallows and dipping treats, as well as a DESSERT BUFFET on weekends.
Champagne Breakfast
All are welcome to join us for our A LA CARTE or SUITE BREAKFAST - a juice of your choice to start, viennoiserie from our bakery, and then the Australian favourite, AVOCADO ON TOAST perhaps, or a luscious EGG BENEDICT. We have the full FARM GATE BREAKFAST too, and are proud to champion local producers. And while you slip into hotel life, why not add a CHAMPAGNE or Bloody Mary?
Afternoon Tea Cocktails
Shaken or stirred, we're adding a touch of debonair flair to our Afternoon Tea. A series of cocktails make their debut, ESPRESSO MARTINIS, ENGLISH BREAKFAST MARTINIS, NEGRONIS and a RHUBARB TOM COLLINS. Created to pair with our Afternoon Tea, and featuring our housemade marmalade and signature tea-infused gin, it is our invitation to start off your celebrations with something special...
Exclusive Seats at Her Majesty's Theatre
In partnership with Her Majesty's Theatre, guests of The Windsor are granted exclusive access to a reserved pair of Owners Seats at every performance. Located in the front row of the Dress Circle, these premium seats are typically held for producers and VIPs, and are now available for you to enjoy.
SPRING 1883
From 14-16 August, we welcome the return of Spring1883, a three-day immersive art fair where our rooms and suites are taken over by contemporary art galleries from Australia and New Zealand. Wander through our historic hallways to find open doors, where within, classic interiors meet modern art. This is a ticketed event, with residential guests invited to explore the fair with our compliments.
Mark Douglass x The Windsor
During the Spring1883 art fair, The Windsor will also play host to two glass sculptures from Melbourne-based contemporary artist, Mark Douglass. Spring Install on Spring Street is a series of brightly coloured glass vases, each holding hand-formed glass fronds, located in the lobby. And, over in the Bourke Street window, seven silver-morph glass sculptures have been displayed, their reflective surfaces illuminated from within at night.
