7.8 out of 10, Good, (6 reviews)
"The communication with the owner was great. We did have some issues checking in not getting the floor or room number or the wifi password. The room was a bit worrying cracks in the sink the toilet not in the right space, the bed not being larger people friendly and it was hard finding basic essentials like the toaster. The room was spacious and the air con was very chilly. It was walkable distance to central and very close to queen vic. It was very easy to find groceries at the woolies around...

Frequently asked questions

How many historically relevant hotels are there in Chinatown?

What are the must-see historical places and other sights in Chinatown?
Chinatown is notable for its Chinatown district and landmarks like Her Majesty's Theatre, Princess Theatre and Comedy Theatre. Known for its theatres, cultural venues like East End Theatre District and Museum of Chinese Australian History Inc. are worth a visit. Additionally, in the area, you'll find Melbourne Central and Crown Casino.
What is a historic hotel like in Chinatown?
Guests who choose historic hotels have a chance to stay in a building recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Chinatown often retain authentic elements like traditional architecture and period features in their communal spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Chinatown have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors should expect the popular amenities you'd find in a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Chinatown, it doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
