The Grand Hotel

By Richard Canning, Nigel Cunningham and Sara Hanson

A grand style hotel is not just a building, it is the sum of the personality and character exuded by it's staff and guests. It is a place of excitement and special occasions, you never know who or what you will encounter during your stay.

The illusion of a grand hotel is that it seems like home, from the moment you step through it's doors and into the waiting arms of the dedicated and efficient staff. It is a place where people from all walks of life can be a prince or princess for a night, to be pampered with exquisite food and royal treatment, and to expect a quality of service far beyond that which they could expect to receive elsewhere.

The Grand Hotel, located corner of Swanston and Collins Streets Melbourne, is the gem of the Empire, the one the others all hope to imitate. It predates Raffles and The Savoy, The Imperial and The Waldorf-Astoria, an sets the tone for which all other grand hotels follow.

1929 has been a tough year for so many, and a good year for so few. Tonight being New Year's Eve, The Grand Hotel and it's staff invite their guests to celebrate the end of one year and the birth of another. And while 1930 may prove to be a year of even more mixed fortunes, one thing you can be assured of, those at The Grand Hotel will be beginning it in style.
