— About the Hotel —
From the moment you step inside, you will be captivated by the hotel’s charm and inspired by its stories. Built in 1866, the building is well into its second century. Authentically styled, blending contemporary design with its Art Deco origins, the hotel is captivating in its individual character and charm. The sophisticated lobby creates an inviting sense of arrival with its warm timbers, mirror and brass elements complemented by luxurious soft furnishings.
After an extensive refurbishment, The Savoy Hotel on Little Collins has reunited with its rich heritage. The building has a vibrant history of owners, events and famous patronage. It has had many incarnations, from its origins in the 1880s, to its Art Deco reincarnation as The Alexander Hotel in the 1920s, to its time as Melbourne’s iconic Savoy Plaza in the 1960s.
Situated opposite Southern Cross Station on Spencer Street, the building originally opened as Alexander’s Family Hotel in 1866. Charles Alexander designed a classically detailed Victorian architectural building reflective of the era, across three-levels. In 1926, new owner James Richardson lavished £300,000 on the building and another £50,000 on furniture and fittings in an American inspired 20th-century refurbishment.
Coupled with the vision of his design partner Leslie M Perrott, the Hotel Alexander was the first Australian hotel equipped with ensuite bathrooms and temperature-controlled rooms. On 31 January 1928, Premier Hogan officially opened the remodelled 200-room Hotel Alexander. Leslie M. Perrott, went on to design the Chevron Hotel, and Hotel Australia, which became the social epicentre of Melbourne in the 1940s.
