Description
The Belgrave Hotel is a terrace of three houses, now functioning as a hotel, built with painted stucco and featuring slate roofs behind a parapet and rendered stacks. The building has a basement, four storeys, and an attic, with each house showcasing a full-height canted bay on the left and a single window range on the right. The architectural detail is simpler compared to the four houses attached to the right and the next terrace of six, but it aligns with the pair of houses across Victoria Street to the left.
The windows are square-headed sashes set in moulded surrounds, mostly consisting of four panes, while the narrower side lights of the canted bays have two panes. The left end house features a moulded cornice over the ground floor and a moulded string between the second and third floors, although these details may have been removed from the other two houses. The parapet includes sunk panels with inset moulding and rebated angles, and the basement has sash windows.
The entrance door is located to the right of the bay in the middle house, framed by a stucco surround with a cornice and an added wrought iron flat hood. It consists of double doors with an overlight. A similar door likely existed on the right house, which has since been replaced by a window matching those above. The left house has a similar window, but its entry was probably always from the Victoria Street side.
On the Victoria Street side, there is a central stuccoed porch with a coped gable and a four-pane sash window on each floor to the left. The porch has a door to the north. The rear features a three-window range to the right, with paired stair lights at intermediate levels in the middle bay, leading to a northeast rear wing that is hipped at the end.
The iron area railings along the Esplanade and Victoria Street are adorned with fleur-de-lys heads, and the stanchions resemble turned balusters with finials. Inside, the main rooms typically have simple moulded cornices, which are preserved in the first two houses, while the middle house retains its original staircase, which rises in eight flights and features an open well, moulded tread ends, stick balusters, and square newels.
