The Hydro Majestic Hotel, a historic Art Deco landmark in Medlow Bath, New South Wales, is set to be sold after over 120 years since its founding. Originally conceived by retail magnate Mark Foy as Australia's first hydropathic health retreat in 1904, the hotel has welcomed notable guests like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sir Edmund Barton. Now listed for sale by current operators Salter Brothers, the property boasts 84 guest rooms, a meticulously restored Casino Lobby with its grand domed ceiling, and the renowned Wintergarden Restaurant offering panoramic views of the Blue Mountains. The sale includes a valuable hotel licence, potential gaming entitlements, and opportunities for expansion such as adding 91 suites, an approved conference facility, and re-opening the historic Roadhouse bar. Situated on expansive land overlooking the Megalong Valley, the hotel's unique blend of heritage architecture and strategic location positions it as a rare Australian institution with significant investment potential.
