Description
The Grand Hotel is a French Renaissance style hotel built in the 19th century. It features a bathstone front, with the lower levels painted, and stands four storeys tall. The central section has a three-window frontispiece topped with a steep pavilion roof adorned with wrought iron cresting. The frontispiece includes pedimented central windows and is set forward at the balcony level. Below this, there is an entrance arch with the inscription "Grand Hotel" and an iron porch.
On either side of the frontispiece, at the attic level, are three round-arched dormers with ball finials. The top floor has three windows, and below these are three round-headed door-windows with glazing above, along with a bracketed wrought-iron balcony. The doorways at the ends are topped with steep pediments.
