We stayed at The Windsor for two nights during the long weekend in a Victorian suite and loved the experience. The dimensions of the apartment are huge, with high ceilings, antique furniture, impressive windows and great views over to Parliament House. One feels that these suites are waiting - waiting for the restoration they deserve from carefully selected experts with a generous budget and an understanding of the era and history within the walls of this unique building. Yes the suite was tired, lacking colour, warmth and some decorative touches such as vases, large artworks and fresh window treatments. But a quick makeover would be an insult and we were happy to overlook the dated decor and instead, appreciate the cleanliness, lovely bathroom, massive beds, antique furniture, space, privacy and excellent service provided. The opportunity to stay in a Victorian suite at a heavily discounted price was something we felt privileged to experience and when restoration begins, probably unlikely to occur again!
The wide halls, staircase, foyer decor and excellent service is worth experiencing and the hotel is in a great position as well. Didn't see in any of the standard rooms, but we would recommend a stay at current discounted prices for those who appreciate history and the absence of boxy, non-descript depressing city hotel rooms!
