Featuring stunning mirrors gifted to the Hotel after hosting the confederate recruitment ball in 1865. The Grand Dining Room is the perfect location for an elegant wedding reception. The Prince’s room The legendary Prince’s room was specially prepared for Royalty in 1867 when Queen Victoria’s second son, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh visited Ballarat.

Even a simple affair can take on the atmosphere of a regal event in the Prince’s room. This room is ideal for wedding ceremonies, cocktail receptions, or an intimate seated function.
