Brighton Savoy Today
Today, Brighton Savoy is an independent Australian publishing and information platform, combining that first-hand experience with ongoing research to produce practical guides to weddings, wedding venues, accommodation, travel, hospitality, dining, Melbourne and consumer topics.
The Lee family became involved with Brighton Savoy in 1967, and for decades the property operated as a hotel, wedding venue, restaurant and function centre overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
The physical Brighton Savoy is no longer operating as a hotel, restaurant or wedding venue.
Today, that experience forms the foundation of our independent guides and research. Our perspective comes from more than researching hospitality and weddings online. We spent decades working in them.
Hotels, Accommodation & Travel
For more than five decades, accommodation was part of Brighton Savoy's everyday business.
We managed reservations, welcomed guests, serviced rooms and experienced first-hand what can make the difference between an ordinary hotel stay and an excellent one.
Today, we use that experience alongside current research to publish accommodation and travel guides covering Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and international destinations.
Melbourne Wedding Venues & Wedding Planning
Weddings were at the heart of Brighton Savoy for generations.
Our family worked with thousands of couples and alongside photographers, videographers, DJs, florists, celebrants, entertainers, caterers and other wedding professionals.
Today, our wedding guides combine that first-hand experience with ongoing research into Melbourne and Victorian wedding venues, suppliers, costs, traditions and planning decisions.
Discover Melbourne
Melbourne is more than somewhere we write about. It is where the Brighton Savoy story began.
Our Melbourne guides explore places to visit, things to do, dining, celebrations, accommodation and experiences across Melbourne and Victoria.
Whether you're visiting Melbourne for the first time or rediscovering your own city, our aim is to provide practical, useful and well-researched guidance.
