The Largs Pier Hotel-Motel

The Largs Pier Hotel-Motel was built in 1882 by the Largs Bay Land and Investment Co. The Hotel was built of stone with rendered masonry. The Architects were Ernest H. Bager and Latham A. Whithall. The Hotel is 117 feet (36 metres) by 95 feet (29 metres) and has a massive staircase inside the Hotel.

In this time it used to be a Seaside Resort for South Australians and it also used to be a major mail port. It was a recognisable landmark for sailors at sea.

The Hotel is now used for gambling, going out for dinner and also relaxing and having a few drinks. Kim Dean is the present owner of the Largs Pier Hotel. There is going to be future development to the Hotel and the Bar is currently being renovated.

The Largs Pier Hotel is an Aussie music icon. In the 1970s and 80s famous bands played there, like Jimmy Barnes, Bon Scott (who would later be the singer with AC-DC) and The Angels and those are just some of them. The Largs Pier Hotel was the starting point for some of these most famous bands. There are going to be more bands that will play after the redevelopment is finished.

The Largs Pier Hotel - Motel remains as stunning today as it was over a century ago with its rising three storeys, arcaded facade and unique interior staircase. The Largs Pier Hotel-Motel is located on the LeFevre Peninsula Esplanade off of Military Road , Largs Bay .
