Clarence House Hotel and area railings

The Clarence House Hotel, originally three separate houses, was constructed in the 18th century and is faced with stucco and has imitation slate roofs. The building has a basement and four storeys with an attic, presented as a two-window range, although one side features a full-height stucco canted bay and the other has single windows above the front door. The first two houses are mirror images of each other, each with a canted bay on the exterior. The third house is slightly raised and also has a canted bay on the right, mirroring its adjacent house, which is now part of the Atlantic Hotel.

The windows are primarily 4-pane sashes, although narrower 2-pane sashes are found in the sides of the canted bays. Dormers have been added in the 20th century. The parapet features inset mouldings with rebated angles in sunk panels. The upper two floors have windows with a cambered head within a moulded surround; however, the central canted bay has square-headed surrounds instead of cambered. Arched French windows open onto a continuous iron balcony on the first floor, featuring moulded arched heads, plain fanlights, and pilaster sides. The outer right canted bay of the first floor has a moulded square head over the arched front window. The ground floor is rusticated and the windows and door have plain square heads. The first-floor balcony is supported by iron brackets and features attractive iron railings in a style reminiscent of earlier 19th century designs. The original doors were four-panel affairs with overlights, but these have been altered. Basement windows are sash style. The iron area railings are adorned with fleur-de-lys heads.

A side elevation on Sutton Street displays a stuccoed chimney and a three-window range of plate glass sashes over four storeys, with paired sashes in the center. A three-storey, four-window rear wing has been added or rebuilt.

The lobby of number 1 has a glazed screen incorporating coloured and etched glass, along with side and top lights. This screen has been removed from number 2. Number 3’s main room features modillion brackets to the cornice and a painted slate fireplace with a large arch, keystone, and shelf. A similar cornice and fireplace are found in number 2, with an acanthus rose decorating the ceiling. A staircase was removed from number 2 to make way for a lift. Number 1 has a similar cornice in the lobby and stair hall; the staircase has thin turned balusters and bulbous newel posts, and a corner room features an acanthus motif scrolled ceiling border over a coved cornice. A 20th-century archway leads to a simpler room at the rear.
