1. The Hotel Windsor, Melbourne, VIC<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Established in 1883, The Hotel Windsor<\/a> in Melbourne<\/a> is nestled between luxury shopping, laneway haunts, and attractions like Fitzroy Gardens. The Windsor is a grand hotel that transports you to the Melbourne of yesteryear and has been popular with famous stars throughout its life, being conveniently located next door to The Princess Theatre (where you might find even more ghosts).<\/p>\n

Notably, the Windsor was frequented by Dame Nellie Melba (1861-1931), a famous Australian opera singer from the Victorian era who would supposedly meet her lovers there in secret. It\u2019s said you can still hear Nellie singing through the corridors at night, sometimes with a ghostly companion protecting her room.<\/p>\n

We recommend you visit at least once \u2013 if not to listen out for Nellie, then for a beautiful hotel in a fantastic spot \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
