Golden Lion Hotel

The Golden Lion Hotel, formerly known as the Royal Hotel, is a hotel built around 1850, prior to the development of New Hunstanton by the Le Stranges of Hunstanton Hall. It is likely designed by William Butterfield, who was a friend of Henry Le Strange and served as the architect for New Hunstanton from 1862. The building features squared carstone laid in random courses with stone dressings and a tiled roof.

It has an "L" plan and stands two storeys tall with attics, showcasing a High Victorian Tudor Gothic style. The facade facing the Green has two gables and a cross wing, with details and forms that are picturesquely varied. The east gable includes a projecting stone-roofed bow on the ground floor, which has a stone mullioned and transomed cross window. The first floor features a four-light cross window with Gothic arched heads, while the attic contains a two-light casement.

To the east, there is a two-storey wing that is a 20th-century addition. The cross wing has an off-axis gabled porch with a pointed arch entrance. The ground floor on the east side includes one arched single light mullioned casement and one triple light arched-headed cross window. The first floor has one single light and two three-light straight-headed cross windows, with the attic featuring two gabled dormers. The west gable is blank except for a single ground floor casement and has an externally expressed chimney breast and stack. The long returned north wing is two storeys with attics and has an attached 20th-century flat-roofed ground floor extension.
