If you’re planning to visit Sydney, there’s a place you can’t miss – the iconic Queen Victoria Building (QVB). Located in the heart of Sydney’s central business district, the QVB is one of the city’s most popular landmarks, attracting visitors from around the world. And for guests of Meriton Suites, it’s a must-visit destination close to all five of our hotels in the Sydney CBD.
The QVB has a rich history that dates back over a century. It was built in 1898 as a monument to Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee and quickly became a symbol of Sydney’s prosperity and growth. Over the years, the building has undergone several renovations, but its original architecture and design have been preserved, making it an excellent example of Victorian architecture.
Today, the QVB is a bustling shopping centre with more than 200 high-end stores, cafes, and restaurants. There’s something for everyone here, from luxury fashion brands to artisanal boutiques. And even if shopping isn’t your thing, the QVB is worth a visit for its stunning architecture alone. The building’s central dome, intricate stained-glass windows, and ornate details are a feast for the eyes.
One of the highlights of the QVB is the Great Australian Clock, located on the top floor of the building. This impressive clock features 33 individual scenes from Australian history, and it’s worth taking the time to watch it in action.
Another popular attraction at the QVB is the tea room on the top floor of the building. This elegant space has been beautifully restored to its original glory, and it’s the perfect spot for a traditional high tea experience.
For guests of Meriton Suites, the QVB is a must-visit destination that’s conveniently located near all five of our hotels in the Sydney CBD. Whether you’re looking to shop, dine, or take in the beauty of this historic building, the QVB is an excellent choice.
And after a day of exploring the QVB and the surrounding area, you can return to your comfortable and luxurious Meriton Suites hotel room. With five locations in the Sydney CBD, we offer a range of accommodation options to suit every traveller’s needs.
