Many of the marble trimmed bathrooms include Roman or Hydrotherapy corner spa's.

These carefully appointed and individually themed suites ensure you will experience the legend that is Craig's Royal Hotel, Ballarat.

The Classic room is intimate and affordable. Available in single, double or twin formation, all are beautifully furnished in a variety of period styles. The comfort of today's corporate and serious tourist have not been compromised whilst not abandoning the heritage appeal.
