The Grand Casino in Dunedin, New Zealand, occupies the former Southern Cross Hotel, a heritage-listed building at the corner of Princes Street and High Street in the district known as The Exchange, about half a kilometre south of the city centre. The hotel was built in 1883 as the Grand Hotel to designs by the Italian architect Louis Boldini, and its interior finishing reflects Victorian taste in classical architecture. A casino opened in the building in 1999 as the Dunedin Casino and was renamed the Grand Casino in 2021 in recognition of the building that houses it. Its new colour scheme won the Heritage Colour Maestro Award at the Resene Total Colour Awards.
