Frequently asked questions

What should I expect on my historical trip to Chinatown?
A visit to the chinatown in Chinatown will be a draw for the history buff or anyone who wants to learn about the local history. Be sure to check out the major shopping area and acclaimed theatre scene while you're here. And also relish a stop at the top-notch restaurants in this romantic area.
How many historically relevant hotels are there in Chinatown?
In Chinatown, you'll find 34 hotels bookable on Expedia but not many designated as historic hotels.
What are the must-see historical places and other sights in Chinatown?
Chinatown is notable for its Chinatown district and landmarks like Her Majesty's Theatre, Comedy Theatre and Princess Theatre. Known for its theatres, cultural venues like East End Theatre District and Museum of Chinese Australian History Inc. are worth a visit. Additionally, in the area, you'll find Crown Casino and Melbourne Central.
What is a historic hotel like in Chinatown?
Guests who choose historic hotels have a chance to stay in a building recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Chinatown often retain authentic elements like traditional architecture and period features in their communal spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Chinatown have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors should expect the popular amenities you'd find in a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Chinatown, it doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
