Overview
Located in the historic heart of Ballarat and host to Princes, Poets and Prime Ministers, the legend of Craig's, the Goldfields first and premier hotel, has been truly reborn following a significant restoration and refurbishment program.
Each of the 41 bedrooms and suites have been individually styled and redecorated, with magnificent antiques and works of art, representative of the varying furnishing styles of the Victorian era. Many of the rooms have four-poster or half-tester beds, other rooms with oriental leanings have furniture with stunning feature inlays.
No two rooms in the hotel are exactly the same; two boast tower rooms with panoramic views of the city and beyond. The possibilities for a unique visit to the hotel are almost endless. Whether you are visiting Ballarat for business or pleasure ? Craig's has a room for every occasion.
The bathrooms, including 11 with spas, boast porcelain and marble fixtures and fittings. L'Occitane amenities and the famous Craig's room service breakfast complete the package.
All accommodation is non-smoking and has: individual climate control, cable television with 17 channels including 5 movie channels, tea and coffee making facilities with lavazza plunger coffee, iron and board, refrigerator, and a desk or work table in most rooms. Internet access is complementary.
