Hydro Hotel, Heritage hotel in Leeton, Australia.

The Hydro Hotel is a two-storey brick hotel at Chelmsford Place, on the highest point in central Leeton. It was designed by government architect George McRae with Gorrie McLeish Blair and built by contractor Andrew Eaton, and opened on 28 August 1919.

The building was constructed in 1919 to house senior staff working on the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area development project. It officially received its hospitality license 5 years later in 1924.

The murals throughout the building were created by local artist Lee Blacker-Noble and reflect the area's artistic heritage. These decorative elements remain visible today as part of the original interior design.

The hotel offers a range of accommodation types including a two-bedroom apartment, along with conference spaces, dining, and bar facilities for guests and visitors. Planning ahead is helpful if you need specific rooms or want to dine at the on-site restaurant.

The hotel was designed by government architect Whitcomb, then redesigned by George McRae with Gorrie McLeish Blair after Whitcomb's plans and materials proved unsatisfactory. Contractor Andrew Eaton built it at the highest point in the centre of town, and it was completed on 28 August 1919.
