Celtic Royal Hotel

The Celtic Royal Hotel is a 3-storey Georgian hotel built with a 5-bay main range and 4-bay set-back wings. The symmetrical main range is square in plan and constructed of ashlar stone. It features a plat band above the lower storey and an upper-storey sill band, topped with a hipped slate roof that has a moulded cornice and a stack located behind the front ridge. The windows are 12-pane horned sashes, with the upper-storey windows being smaller and set beneath lintels. The entrance is framed by a portico supported by paired Tuscan columns, featuring a blank entablature and a blocking course. The doorway consists of half-lit panelled doors and a rectangular overlight with iron radial glazing.

The lower flanking wings are finished in painted roughcast and have slate roofs that are hipped to the outer sides, with two ridge stacks. Each wing has its central two bays recessed. The middle and upper storeys of the wings have sill bands that continue from the plat and sill bands of the main range. The windows in these wings are also 12-pane horned sashes, smaller in the upper storey, except for a tripartite window in the outer bays of the lower storey, and there are inserted double panelled doors with overlights in the inner bays. The right end wall has sill bands that align with the front. The upper storey shows traces of earlier scribed roughcast, featuring a 12-pane horned sash window on the upper left and small 2-pane sashes offset to the right in the middle and upper storeys. A window has been added between the two wings in the lower storey. An attached rear wing, which has a separate hipped roof, retains a tripartite sash window above a gabled projection in the upper storey, with a 12-pane horned sash window to its left in the middle storey, though it has been otherwise altered. The left end has an additional bay set further back, which includes 6-pane late 19th-century horned sash windows in the middle and upper storeys, along with inserted windows on the right side. There are also late 20th-century additions at the rear.

Internally, the hotel has been modernised with an altered layout, and the only remaining feature from earlier periods is a decorative-tile floor from the late 19th century inside the entrance.
