Shamrock Hotel
At the corner of Pall Mall and Williamson St is the Shamrock Hotel which dates from 1897. It is the third hotel on this site - the first dating from 1854. At four storeys high, it is almost too big. The Shamrock was completed at a cost of £25,000 and was designed 'to embrace all English and continental ideas in the construction of hotels'. At the time it boasted every 'mod con' including a pneumatic lift, marble stairs, electric light and 100 rooms. Highlights are the ornate facade, the corner tower, the verandah and the mansard roofs.

The Shamrock Hotel has been host to a number of important visitors including Prince George (later George V), Donald Bradman and Dame Nellie Melba. In more recent times it has been visited by the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana.
The building is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register
