Embassy Hotel, Newbridge

The Embassy Hotel in Newbridge is a Regency mansion designed by architect Walter Newall, built around 1815 and now functioning as a hotel. The building has two storeys and a basement, constructed from painted ashlar with droved finishes on the single bay flanks. The entrance front is symmetrical, featuring two bay bows with flanking panelled pilasters. The recessed centre bay includes a porch supported by two pairs of Ionic columns, leading to an arched doorway with sidelights and a single-pane fanlight above.

The building has a plinth, string courses at the ground floor cill level, and a band course at the first floor level, topped with a cornice and blocking course. The chimney stacks are symmetrically placed, and the roof is covered with piended slate. The windows have been reglazed with single-pane sashes. The return elevations are also finished in painted droved ashlar. A tall rear wing, which may partially be designed by J M Dick Peddie, adds to the structure.
