Royal Hotel (1890)

• De-licensed early in the 20th century and has been used as a boarding house ever since.
• Three storey, red brick and stucco building is designed in the Anglo-Dutch (Queen Anne) revival style.
• One of the most richly ornamented and highly mannered examples of red brick hotels in Victoria. 
• This move towards the red brick represents a move away from the rendered Italianate expression favoured in Victoria for hotel design. 
• Illustrates the prosperity of Williamstown during the mid to late 19th century.
