Wains Hotel, Historic hotel in Dunedin, New Zealand
The Italianate-style building features Port Chalmers basalt columns, Kakanui limestone capitals, and carved figures of Bacchus and Neptune on its facade.
Job Wain commissioned the construction of this hotel in 1878 for £14,000, during the prosperous period following the Otago gold rush.
The Press Club restaurant within the hotel incorporates local organic ingredients and Southern culinary traditions in its menu selections.
The establishment contains 50 rooms with Samsung Smart TVs, high-speed internet, and premium bedding, plus meeting spaces for up to 250 people.
Stone balustrades at the entrance display an eagle keystone, while the interior showcases Tasmanian blackwood fittings throughout the building.
