Description
The Wyndham Hotel is an early 19th-century building, depicted on maps from 1830 and 1832. It features Georgian architecture with three storeys and stucco main elevations that include plinths on the northwest and southwest sides. The building has slate roofs, rendered chimney stacks, and bracket boxed eaves. The northwest front has three windows facing Dunraven Place, while the southwest side has three windows opposite No 26 and a two-window northwest-facing elevation that creates a setback angle for the main entrance. There is also a one-window rounded corner leading to a further three-window front opposite No 22, with a pilaster strip on the right end and a lower three-window front to the right. The majority of the windows are 12-pane sash windows, though some modern small-pane windows are present.
The classical entrance on the main front features a console bracketed cornice and modern doors, with a similar shop front to the left. The northern elevation of the right side has some blocked windows, and there is an Edwardian quarter round Tuscan porch with a balustraded parapet and a classical doorcase opposite No 22. The stucco is scribed at the ground floor, and the southwest gable end on Cross Street is connected by a one-storey and attic service wing that has flat roof dormers and a broad classical entrance. This wing leads to a two-storey whitewashed coursed rubble gable end at the corner with Elder Street, which has blocked segmented arched openings, one of which contains a modern window.
The southeast end on Elder Street features a corbelled chimney breast flanked by tall small-pane sash windows with raised segmental heads. There is a set-back and slightly lower stuccoed two-window front with similar glazing that lights the main function room, known as the Empress Suite. A lean-to side entrance is present, with the front stepped forward and up to adjoin the three-storey gable end of the main front.
Inside, the hotel retains Art Nouveau details in the bar and late Georgian/Regency features in the Empress Suite on the first floor, including reeded architraves, a high ribbed ceiling with gilded roundels, and a raised blocked lantern in the southeast bay. It is also said to retain early 17th-century arches in one bedroom.
