If you can’t be in sunny Palm Springs, then your next best bet is Albury’s Astor Hotel Motel. Yes, we’re serious! This retro-styled, Palm Springs inspired resort is a must-see on your next visit to our border cities. 

Recent over-the-top renovations have given the original 1960’s institution a vibrant makeover! Settle in for a relaxing afternoon amongst the leafy décor and pastel hues, with plenty of classy old-school vibes. 

In summer, knock back one of our favourite specialty cocktails – the Splice! Also, there’s an epic selection from 28 taps over two bars for die-hard beer lovers. During the cooler months, settle in beside one of two open fireplaces – one suspended in the beer garden, another in the cosy dining area.  

Thanks to the renowned gourmet-pub fare, the kitchen’s woodfire grill and rotisserie exude an irresistible aroma. The Astor prides itself on grass and grain-fed meats with a minimum 30-day dry ageing.

While you’re there, don’t forget to grab a selfie with the retro-styled neon sign at twilight!
