Pier Hotel, Glenelg

The Pier Hotel was a public inn in Glenelg in the British colony, then Australian state, of South Australia.

The foundation stone for "Moseley's Pier Hotel", as it was originally named, was laid by the Mayor, R. B. Colley, on 7 June 1856.

It was a three-storey affair, to a design by architect John William Holmes, and built by Henry J. Moseley, who then operated the hotel as proprietor and publican.

Its naming was not only premature, as the pier (or "jetty" in SA parlance) was not opened until 1859, but also prescient, as its placement was a matter for debate until 1857.

was for a time landlord of the "Pier", but moved on when he declared insolvency despite a great deal of financial assistance from his father.

[13] Following Botting's death in 1910 ownership was restructured as The Pier Hotel (Glenelg) Proprietary, shareholder base largely consisting of his testamentaries.

The name "Pier Hotel" has since been adopted for another establishment in the vicinity, founded in 2001 at the end of the Anzac Highway.
