The Orient Hotel is on the corner of High and Henry Streets in Fremantle, and was designed by Michael Cavanagh.

Since it was built it has continued to be a hotel though it has had a number of proprietors including the Parry family from 1923 to 1971.

During the 1950s and 1960s popular Fremantle politician Sir Frank Gibson and his wife resided in the Orient Hotel.
