Statement of Significance
The Grand View Hotel is a large and prominently sited example of a late Victorian Italianate hotel. Its strategic siting relates back to the extension of the railway line to Heidelberg and the continuing voluminous road traffic. The building is substantially intact to the extent of the exterior facades, with the exception of the removal of the tower roof.
