Since 1936, The Prince has stood as an iconic Melbourne landmark. From its grand Art Deco beginnings, it has continuously evolved alongside the city’s culture — from hosting the US military in the 1940s, to becoming a cornerstone of Melbourne’s LGBTQIA scene in the 1970s, and a home for punk and counterculture in the 1980s. Following a striking restoration in the 1990s, The Prince emerged as a symbol of Melbourne’s culinary renaissance with the opening of its celebrated restaurant, Circa. Today, The Prince boasts three unique levels, each offering its own distinct atmosphere, making it a truly versatile and dynamic venue — and one like no other. As Venue Manager, you will play a pivotal and hands-on role in bringing this iconic venue to life each day. You’ll oversee the smooth and efficient operation of the hotel, lead and inspire a passionate team, and build strong relationships with guests and local suppliers alike. With a focus on exceptional service and memorable experiences, you’ll help shape the next chapter of The Prince’s story.
