Port Admiral Hotel

The Port Admiral Hotel is located on the corner of St Vincent Street and Commercial Road in the centre of Port Adelaide, South Australia.

History

Drawing of the Hotel by Samuel Calvert as it appeared in 1850.

The Port Admiral Hotel was built by Robert Sanders and opened in 1849. The hotel was originally named the 'Railway Hotel' to reflect a proposed horse drawn train line. However, subsequent operator Charles Calton decided to rename it after a pub he had previously operated, giving the hotel its current name.

Restoration

In 2006 the Port Admiral Hotel was closed by its operators. After extensive restoration and renovations the Hotel reopened in 2018. It is often referred to as a symbol of Port Adelaide's economic recovery.
