Queens Hotel, Corran Esplanade, Oban

The Queens Hotel, located on Corran Esplanade in Oban, is a near-symmetrical hotel building from the later 19th century. It features three bays, two storeys, and an attic, along with a substantial modern extension to the rear. The walls are constructed of bull-faced, squared, and snecked grey granite, with painted cement rendered dressings on the main block. The side elevations and wings have cement rendered bowed bays.

The central entrance door is infilled to sill level, with a window above, both featuring margins. On either side, there are curved full-height bowed four-light windows, topped with bull's-eye windows in the bowed gableheads. The building includes a base course, as well as band and string courses at the cills and lintels of the bay windows. The flanking wings have gable ends to the west, with the northern wing being a modern extension replacement.

To the south, there is a single-storey wing with a tripartite opening in the curved west gable, which includes a central door and a bull's-eye window in the gablehead. The south elevation has five bays, with the first four being single-storey and attic, featuring dormers that break the eaves. Most openings have modern plate glass windows, except for the timber sash and case windows on the south elevation of the south wing and the south gable of the principal block.

The principal block and flanking wings have grey slate roofs, with skew copes on the curved gables. The centre bay of the principal block and the south wing have vertically-boarded timber gabled and slate-hung dormers. The principal front features cast-iron profiled gutters and downpipes, along with cast-iron finials on the gables and central dormer. The main block has rendered and coped apex stacks with octagonal cans. Additionally, there is a rendered wall along the road, with gateposts capped with triangles on each face.
