Built in 1925 by Michael Feros, this grand hotel is heritage listed and is still owned by the Feros family. It is a classic example of Australian hotel architecture of the 1920s.
This dominating building in the heart of Dorrigo links the past to the present. Heritage features include a soaring parapet, a wrought iron verandah and 1925 tiles, while the internal features include a lead light canopy, stained timber ceilings, picture rails and authentic skirting boards.
