History

Established in 1898.

At the turn of the century the Bayswater Hotel was frequented by hunting parties and became famous for its genteel ‘afternoon teas’. During the Great Depression it developed into a working man’s hotel and began its long association with the employees of the railways. The Hotel was reputedly the only one in Australia to put on free beer the day World War II ended. In the early 1950s the Main Roads Department wanted to demolish the hotel to make way for a new one, but thankfully they were not successful. Extensive renovations were made in the 1960s and early 1990s and motel units were constructed. In 1981 the hotel was sold to Sam Sardelic and Lloyd Marchesi, and in early 1990 Charles Letizia became the third partner.

Although much has changed over the years, including a recent renovation and the construction of additional rooms, the Hotel still retains many of its original interior treatments, including a pressed-​metal decorative ceiling and ornate timber mantels.
