The Melbourne Hotel features an ornate facade of deep red brick and contrasting white stucco that stands out against the modern glass towers on Hay Street. Built in eighteen ninety-seven, the hotel catered to the sudden influx of prospectors and businessmen arriving during the Western Australian gold rush. While other buildings from that era fell to the wrecking ball, this hotel survived by incorporating its original Victorian ironwork and interior timber staircase into a hotel that still welcomes guests today.
