Commercial Hotel, Albury, Heritage-listed accommodation building in Smollett Street, Albury, Australia.

The Commercial Hotel is a two-storey brick hotel at 430–436 Smollett Street, Albury, with a two-storey front verandah added in the 1880s, its timber floors and cast iron fretwork facing the street. An architect-designed two-storey accommodation wing was built at the rear around 1912, and ground-floor windows were replaced with P&O-style fenestration and a concrete awning in the 1950s. The former hotel has since been converted into apartments.

The Commercial Hotel is believed to have been built around 1854, making it the oldest surviving public hotel in Albury; another source credits James Wyse with an earlier construction in 1844. A two-storey timber and cast-iron verandah was added in the 1880s, followed by an architect-designed rear accommodation wing in 1912. It was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

The name Waterstreet Hotel comes from Mrs Waterstreet, who owned the hotel in 1914; in 1929 the Waterhouse family leased it. The building is a late colonial style country hotel, described as an early commercial response to the railway. Its 1880s two-storey front verandah has timber floors and cast iron fretwork.

The building sits at 430 Smollett Street in central Albury and is easily walkable from the main areas of the town. The original exterior facade is clearly visible from the street, and the property is accessible for viewing from public spaces.

The hotel's name comes from Mrs Waterstreet, who owned it in 1914; it was earlier known as the Waterstreet Hotel. In 1929 the Waterhouse family leased the premises. Interiors were stripped of suspended ceilings and later alterations in 2003 and 2005, exposing the original ceiling heights and plaster detailing.
