Mail Exchange Hotel

  • Heritage listed
  • Pub

The Mail Exchange Hotel is a pub housed within the heritage-listed former mail exchange building. Meticulously restored, the pub has an atrium with an internal courtyard and a bistro with capacity for 200 offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily.

Located a stone's throw away from Southern Cross Station and with a tram stop just opposite, the Mail Exchange Hotel is conveniently placed for a morning coffee on the way to the office, or a cold beer before heading home.

Check their website for the kitchen's open hours.
