The Lowenac Hotel

The Lowenac Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel, believed to have been built around 1845, with alterations and extensions made over time. The building is finished in stucco, likely over rubble, and features a modern tiled roof. It has a double-pile plan and a modern entrance vestibule located at the left end. The hotel is two storeys high with a symmetrical four-bay facade that includes corner pilasters and four-pane sashed windows with moulded architraves. The ground floor windows are taller and have cornices supported by consoles. The roof is a two-span hipped design with projecting eaves and no chimneys. The modern single-storey entrance vestibule at the left end is not considered of special interest.

At the rear, there is a single-storey canted bay and a round-headed stair window, along with a modern extension that is also not of special interest. Inside, the original front door at the left end features set-in fluted columns, margin glazing, and a fanlight with intersecting tracery. The interior includes an axial hallway and elaborate moulded plaster decorations in the hallway and main rooms, which feature fluted Corinthian pilasters, foliated modillions, and cornices adorned with egg-and-dart, acanthus, and vine motifs, as well as fine undercut ribbon and lily designs. The front rooms are connected by a large doorway with an elaborate architrave, flanked by curved doorways in rounded corners. A large open-well staircase showcases an open string, scrolled brackets, two slender turned balusters per tread, and a wreathed handrail.
