Melbourne General Post Office – A Historical Landmark that has Stood the Test of Time

A city of contradictions, Melbourne is at once fast paced yet steady

, chic and glamorous yet earthy. A multicultural, multidimensional city that everyone falls in love with, it's the place to go if you want to experience what life is all about. Although fiercely competitive and forward thinking, Melbournians never let a busy lifestyle get in the way of simple pleasures. Consummately devoted to sporting endeavours and home to some of the best design, music, art, fashion and performers the world over, the city's rich culture and history make it one of the most interesting places in Australia.

Keeping in line with Melbourne's flair for modernization with a sense of history is its General Post Office. First established in 1859, this building has weathered many renovations, movements, additions and historic events. Despite the building's grandeur even in the old days it had to be continually expanded to meet with population demands. Its architecture is of unique design simply because it was subject to so many changing eras and styles. The rise of the Commonwealth Government saw the GPO being subjected to a barrage of conferences and reforms but it still continued to operate under state laws until the official Act was passed.

This historic site was most recently renovated and opened in 2004. It's now more of an iconic statement that has expanded over a complete city block. A sophisticated food, fashion and shopping area the GPO is now home to over 60 stores of the highest quality. Fashion icons such as Arthur Galan, Alpha60, Nicolangela, Arabella Ramsey and Willow have chosen this precinct as a place for their boutiques. Restaurants that offer cuisine that ranges from Japanese to Mediterranean as well as some of the best chocolate boutiques in the country can be found along the GPO lane. Beauty shops, jewellers, bookshops and accessory stores all form part of the impressive landscape that is now known as Melbourne's GPO.

Among the Melbourne restaurants that have garnered a name as being the best, The Langham Melbourne has the privilege of being a hotel that is home to such a restaurant. A Melbourne hotel with a distinctive quality and a renowned reputation, this is the hotel to choose for a holiday that will leave you comfortable, pampered and relaxed.
