Description
Little Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, August 2013
The Victoria Hotel is one of the original hotels Melbourne and opened its doors for business on 1 November, 1880, just 45 years after Melbourne was established in 1835.
The Victoria Hotel, an historic hotel in Melbourne was originally known as the Victoria Coffee Palace, founded by a Temperance League as an alternative to the rowdy, bawdy pub accommodation on offer during the late 19th century.
The original lobby is still in use today, minus the skylight dome, removed during WWII to blackout the hotel as a security precaution. During W.W.II the American Army occupied a large section of the hotel for many months.
