The Mail Exchange Hotel is a bistro and pub housed within the heritage-listed former Mail Exchange building. Meticulously restored, the pub has an atrium with an internal courtyard and a bistro with capacity for 200 offering lunch and dinner daily, and breakfast on the weekends.

There's also a sports bar showing live sports on the big screens and a lounge area with Tuesday trivia nights and live music over the summer period.

Located a stone's throw away from Southern Cross Station and with a tram stop just opposite, the Mail Exchange Hotel is conveniently placed for a morning coffee on the way to the office, a cold beer before heading home, or a pre- or post-event meal and drinks for the footy or concerts at Marvel Stadium across the road.
