About Us
Just a stones throw from picturesque Port Melbourne beach, The Exchange Hotel offers a stylish retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Following a complete refurbishment, the ambience is elegant yet relaxed, with decor that reflects classic and timeless simplicity.
The Exchange has come a long way since welcoming migrants and early settlers during the heady days of the Gold Rush. Originally built in the 1850's, the venue has a colourful history as a hangout for smugglers and crimpers before its incarnation as The Exchange Hotel in 1873, the name it held until 1987. Following a brief interval as Irish pub 'Molly Blooms', the venue reclaimed its original title, where the warmth and comforting feel of a quality local pub became paramount to its current success.
Friendly, professional service, a generous beverage selection and menus offering modern, Australian cuisine with an enviable amount of choice are elements that combine to deliver an exceptional experience to first time visitors and loyal clientele alike.
