About Hotel Windsor & Tram Line
The Hotel Windsor is a luxury hotel notable for being Australia's only surviving grand 19th century city hotel and only official "grand" Victorian era hotel. It is surrounded by old Melbourne tram lines, creating a unique and iconic setting for pre-wedding photography.
Best Season to Shoot
All Seasons: Hotel Windsor is suitable for pre-wedding photography throughout the year.
Best Time of Day
Midday to Afternoon (12:00 - 15:00): This is the ideal time at Hotel Windsor. We recommend finishing by 3pm if you want to capture photos with the tram, as the trams have operating hours.
Photography Tips
For Brides: Simple or vintage-style wedding dresses complement Hotel Windsor's historic elegance. Accessorize with hats and sunglasses for a sophisticated look.
For Grooms: Three-piece suits or vintage-style suits pair perfectly with the hotel's classic atmosphere. Props like sunglasses, newspapers, and coffee cups add character.
Note: Outdoor photography requires no permit. To photograph inside the hotel, you need to book a stay.
