“Built around the turn of the century, this hotel building is a marriage of Queen Anne and Edwardian architecture; the traditional Queen Anne terra cotta tile roof stretching over the broken parapet covers an Edwardian facade – a bold grid of cream paint with rectangular panels of red brickwork in between” (Hotels in Fitzroy up to 1906, Nicola A Piccolo, 1971).
