​​Dear guests,

I'm Carmen and we may likely meet during your stay since I spend a lot of time here at the Royal Hotel. It is the beloved home of two pets; a little toy poodle Baby Rango and Billy Bean the Siamese cat.​​

The Royal Hotel has been in our family for half a century. Before my great aunt Irene acquired it, the hotel had belonged to the Heron family which cared for it for two generations.​

Heritage Hotel

 We have been hosting guests for over 240 years

​It is since 1785 that we arrived here from crossing the ocean, our boat was loaded with materials to build the hotel... and is rooted from British Royalty.

When in those days there was no electricity around here, nor running water, and also no cars. A stable for horses was a must, and newcomers would arrive by boats just a steep down the hotel.

Through the years, the hotel had many renovations and beautifully done upgrades. 

Built in 1865

 A proprety from the Victorian Era...

And then in 1875... 

It is quite rare nowadays to cross paths with a property which rightfully belonged to our former Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald.

 

Between his two terms he was living here, at the heart of Sydney, while he was involved with the beginnings of the Trans-Canadian railway project.

Welcome to the Royal Hotel, a cute little Inn stepped in history since the 1700’s.
