Craig's Royal Hotel.
🌈Theme: Craig's Royal Hotel is the earliest hotel in Ballarat in the 19th century. The first owner rushed to the gold digger's settlement from Geelong as soon as he heard the news of the discovery of the gold mine and opened the first high-end hotel. After a century and a half of changes, it has gone through 3 owners and several renovations, but it still maintains its original appearance. According to the hotel, it has accommodated all the governors since Australia became a federation, and has also received many royal family members.
🏘️Room Type/Layout: The hotel offers a variety of suites and standard rooms to choose from.
🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: Standard, overall good.
🎯Entertainment Facilities: There is a club downstairs to experience.
💰️Average Consumption: The price is average in Ballarat, and the restaurant and bar in the lobby on the first floor are also open to the public.
💗Other Tips: Suitable for experiencing retro style.
Visiting Ballarat was like stepping back in time. The charm of this historic city was palpable as I explored Sovereign Hill, an open-air museum that vividly recreates the Gold Rush era. Strolling along Lydiard Street, I admired beautifully preserved Victorian architecture. The Ballarat Botanical Gardens offered a peaceful retreat with stunning floral displays. Lake Wendouree was a picturesque spot for a leisurely walk, and the Art Gallery of Ballarat impressed with its rich collection of Australian art.
Art Gallery of Ballarat

I went to the Art Gallery of Ballarat today on a Friday. It was not busy. Entry was free which is great. Only a few minutes walk from Ballarat railway station. The Gallery is very interesting with a lot of interesting arts. It's very clean and nice like a 5-star hotel. I loved and enjoyed all the arts that they displayed, really appreciate all the staff for taking care of the place so well and highly appreciate all the artists that provided their artwork there.
