Hydro Hotel, Heritage hotel in Leeton, Australia.
The Hydro Hotel is a heritage accommodation building located at the highest point of Chelmsford Place in Leeton, featuring Art Deco architectural style. The building includes grand open fireplaces and decorated interior walls that showcase its original character from the early 20th century.
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 building was created as a hub for developing the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, a major infrastructure project that reshaped inland Australia. This connection to the region's transformation story makes it more than just a place to stay.
