The hotel is located adjacent to the Royal George Hotel on Stirling Terrace, once the commercial and social centre of town,[1] overlooking Princess Royal Harbour.

[5] Charles William Reddin owned and managed the hotel at this time.

The Stirling Terrace side of the building had a balcony with intricate timber balustrades.

[9] In 1993 the hotel was renovated again with the paint removed from the ground floor walls leaving exposed brickwork.

[10] In 2014 the hotel owners received a grant of A$52,788 for conservation and repairs as part of a revitalization project along Stirling Terrance in readiness for Anzac Centenary commemorations.
