Hotel Windsor, Melbourne ghost traditions

Record summary

The Windsor is a long-established Melbourne hotel whose grand architecture, famous guests, and deaths have supported stories of apparitions and unexplained activity. Accounts sometimes identify particular rooms, corridors, or historical figures, making it a candidate for comparing elite hotel folklore with staff and guest testimony. The hotel’s existence and social history are readily verifiable, but the ghost narratives may be scattered across newspapers, travel features, and paranormal websites. Researchers should establish whether each account is contemporaneous, repeated from an earlier source, or promotional.
