The Savoy Hotel on Little Collins Melbourne

What The Savoy Hotel on Little Collins Melbourne does

The Savoy Hotel on Little Collins Melbourne is a 163-room heritage hotel operating at 630 Little Collins Street in Melbourne CBD, directly opposite Southern Cross Station. Originally opened in 1866 as Alexander's Family Hotel, the property was extensively refurbished in 1926 (the first Australian hotel with ensuite bathrooms and temperature-controlled rooms) and again in 2018 under TFE Hotels Collection with award-winning architects Woods Bagot, repositioning it as a heritage-meets-contemporary Art Deco property. The hotel generates revenue through three primary streams: accommodation across 163 guest rooms and suites; food and beverage via the ground-floor Alexander Bar and in-room dining; and weddings and events across six versatile venues including the Plaza Ballroom (capacity 320 cocktail style).

The hotel serves both leisure and business travelers seeking centrally located heritage accommodations, with proximity to SkyBus airport transfers, Melbourne's tram network, Marvel Stadium, and the Southbank/Docklands precincts. Wedding couples and corporate event planners form secondary use-case segments, with structured packages ranging from $149-$199 per person for weddings and from $100 per person for delegate packages. The property is operated under TFE Hotels Collection, accessing centralized reservation infrastructure, OTA distribution, and the eClub Member Rate loyalty program to drive direct bookings. The hotel carries Energy Rating 2 and Water Rating 2.5 certifications and is actively trading with no disclosed funding or M&A activity since the 2018 TFE Hotels rebranding.
