Hotel And Motel, Newlands, South Anderson Drive, Aberdeen

This is a hotel and motel, likely dating from 1889 and possibly designed by Brown and Watt. It is a two-story, three-bay villa displaying Gothic detailing. The main southeast elevation and northeast elevation are constructed with finely finished, tooled granite ashlar, while the remainder uses Aberdeen bond rubble. The building features a base course, chamfered reveals, stone transoms to ground floor windows, a modillion dividing band course, a chamfered first-floor sill course, eaves course, and stone finials to the gable apexes. Sections of the ground floor are corbelled out to form right angles at the first floor.

The southeast (principal) elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled porch advanced to the centre bay on the ground floor. This porch has deeply chamfered reveals to the doorway, a basket-arched, two-leaf door with Gothic panelling, and a tympanum inscribed "18 WM (or MW) 89". An iron lamp is set into the gablehead above the doorway, and a bipartite window is positioned above it on the first floor. A gabled bay slightly projects to the left, featuring a three-light canted window on the ground floor surmounted by a blocking course, and a bipartite window on the first floor. The gablehead of this bay contains a quatrefoil. To the left of that, a bipartite window is located on the ground floor, with a gablet breaking through the eaves for a window on the first floor, and a semi-circular opening with a trefoil-head inset in the gablehead. A circular angle tower is positioned on the outer left, displaying two windows on both the ground and first floors. It has fish-scale conical roof with semi-circular lucarnes featuring inset trefoil-heads, and is topped with an iron weathervane.

The northeast elevation features a gable and architraved bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors. The northwest elevation is near-symmetrical, with a single-story addition to the ground floor in the centre and to the left. A window resides to the left of the ground floor, and a broad, three-light stained-glass stair window is centered on the first floor, flanked to the left and right by gableted windows that break through the eaves. Iron sunflower finials adorn the apexes of the gables.

The southwest elevation is gabled, featuring a window at the centre of both the ground and first floors, and a doorway with a window above to the bay on the left.

Most ground floor windows are predominantly two-pane timber sash and case windows. The first floor has small-pane upper sashes, with curved glass used in the windows of the tower. The roof is grey slate with lead ridges. The building has pointed coped stone skews with gableted skewputts, granite gablehead stacks with dentil recesses below the coping and circular cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not inspected in 2001. Low, coped boundary walls with square-plan gatepiers are present to the east, while high walls are located to the west.
