Built in 1883, the 'Hotel Windsor' is a grand hotel in Melbourne, Australia, and bills itself as "Australia’s only remaining grand hotel."
Designed by Charles Webb in the Second Empire style, it was originally named The Grand Hotel.
A few years after its construction, the Grand was purchased by the temperance movement leader James Munro, who burnt the liquor licence in public and operated it as a coffee palace, renamed it "The Grand Coffee Palace".
The present name dates from the 1920s, and honours the surname which the British Royal Family adopted during the First World War.
The building has been designated as a heritage site on the Victorian Heritage Register.
