The Grand Hotel

Hotel building of six storeys and attic, ornamented with pyramidal roofs and tower; of greatest depth at south-west end and tapering inwards to North-east end. Slate roof; lower 2 storeys rock-faced stone, upper storeys stucco; generally modern glazing and balconies, following fire. From South-west end, first eight bays of South-east elevation with upper storeys of both pairs of end bays in the form of towers with parapets and pyramidal roofs, with pairs of rounded-headed windows beneath parapets and transom two-light windows below. Ninth bay from South-west is set back and has a mansard roof and three-light windows. Modern two-storey veranda to two lower floors (to pier) of first nine bays with rounded arched head to each bay. Tenth and eleventh bays are set back from ninth bay; mansard slate roof with pyramidal tower behind it. Two-light windows except on first and ground floors which are faced with rusticated stone; round-headed openings to first floor and veranda to ground floor. Bays 12 to 15 are set back behind bay 11, bay 15 canted at an angle; mansard roof, fenestration pattern as in bays 10 and 11. The remaining four or five bays are set back in turn further still, culminating in a semi-octagonal tower at North-east end with roof in form of a spire. The NW elevation is in similar style, but due to rise in ground level has only single rock-faced storey.
