Hotel Metropole, West Ipswich, Heritage hotel in West Ipswich, Australia.
The Hotel Metropole stands at the intersection of Brisbane and Waghorn Streets, featuring a two-story brick structure with a symmetrical facade and decorative gables.
Built in 1906 on the site of The Harp of Erin, the Hotel Metropole received its design from architect George Brockwell Gill with construction costs exceeding 3000 pounds.
