General notes:

Period: VictorianConstruction date: c1903Notable features/significance: elaboration/high standard design of cement rendered surfacesDescription: This two-storey hotel is noteworthy for both its form and detail. its plan reflects the acutely-angled site and features an octagonal tower at its apex. The Italianate dressings of pilasters, window hoods and balustrades recall the treatment found in earlier hotels in this locale. Some modification to the fenestration at ground floor level has occurred but the building remains substantially intact. A large overhead billboard mounted on the roof of the building detracts from its appearance.
