The Queen's Hotel, Marine Parade, Dunoon

The Queen's Hotel, located on Marine Parade in Dunoon, was largely built in 1904 by Boston, Menzies and Morton, incorporating and altering an earlier inn. It is a three-storey hotel exhibiting details of the English Arts and Crafts style, and includes a partial attic and a ground floor partially treated as a basement. The exterior is primarily harled, with some mock-timber framing.

The earlier block, to the left, has five bays. The ground floor has a raised basement containing segmental-arched openings and stairs leading to the central door on the principal floor, which is fronted by a verandah with timber columns, bracketed supports, and simple railings. The bays to the left have been filled in with modern windows. Above the centre is a gabled bay with a mock-timber-framed gablehead, and a modern door opening onto a balcony above the verandah, with a further door flanking to the left. Remaining bays contain windows. A slate-hung continuous dormer addition sits above.

The 1904 addition is a three-storey, three-bay structure in the Arts and Crafts style, including a corner tower. The central and left bays feature a continuous bowed window with a central dividing buttress and flanking buttresses. A slate-hung apron with scalloped flashing shelters the window, and a broad first-floor window, originally with a segmental arch, has been replaced with a modern square-headed window. A string course sits below paired gables on the second floor, with single and paired windows, and arrowslits to the gableheads. The round corner tower to the right has a round-arched door at ground level, shielded by a jettied oriel of the upper tower, supported on fine red sandstone mask corbels. A slate-hung apron continues around the tower. Single windows are present on the first and second floors, decorated with a deep band of studded ornament and floral diamond panels. The towerhead is mock-timber framed, with a swept conical slate roof and a tapered lead finial.

The glazing incorporates a variety of patterns; plate glass sash and case windows are found on the original inn, alongside some non-traditional windows. The 1904 addition has small-pane casements, plate glass sash and case windows and some modern replacements, as well as fine leaded windows with decorative stained glass panels. The roof is covered in grey-green slates, topped with gablehead stacks with terracotta cans.

The interior includes visible Glasgow Style fittings, such as a screen and doors to the Cocktail Bar, along with Glasgow Style stained glass in the windows and door panels, incorporating some modern replacements.
