The Windsor Hotel

Included in delegate registration

$125.00 per person

The Hotel Windsor 5 star hotel in Melbourne was the dream of shipping magnate George Nipper. He commissioned eminent architect Charles Webb to design the hotel and the original hotel opened its doors in December 1883.

The Hotel Windsor therefore predates many of the grand hotels of the Victorian era, including The Savoy, London (1889), The Plaza, New York, (1894), The Waldorf Astoria, New York (1894), the Hotel Ritz, Paris (1898) and The Raffles, Singapore (1887).

The Hotel Windsor provides a beautiful setting to catch up with colleagues and friends during the PESA 2015 Conference Dinner.
