Summary

[General description] A corner perspective of the Oriental Hotel, taken from across Rundle Street. It is a five storey building, three of which have verandahs and balconies. The corners of the balconies have been curved in keeping with the art deco influence at the time. A hotel has been on this site since 26th March, 1840 when it was known as the Suffolk Inn. In 1847 it became the Hamburg when the licensee was W. Pohlmann. In 1915 the name was changed to the Oriental, perhaps in response to the war.
