Hotels in West Melbourne (Melbourne), Victoria

Railway Hotel

Frequented in earlier days by the railway workers of the area, with different worker groups in different bars, the Railway Hotel, today is a regular stop-off and waiting point for rail travelers. Despite its West Melbourne address, it is situated right opposite the North Melbourne Railway Station.

The hotel is bounded by three street frontages, showing off some really spectacular building architecture: triangular featured corner on one corner, and long square lines on the adjacent corner.

Everybody is catered for, with a pool room, recently renovated dining room, an outside quaint beer garden, and of course the long main bar. Accommodation is well provided for, and the locals say the range of beers and hospitality of the hotel is excellent.

The Railway Hotel may well have the longest Hotel bar in OZ at 87ft 3inches. We are looking for contenders to that record.
