Summary
Constructed 1937, architect of '30s redesign of the original hotel built in 1850 was W G Bennett. This art deco styling is reminiscent of its namesake in Singapore. It is in the Streamlined Moderne style and has a combined panorama of the two rivers – the Swan and the Canning. The Raffles Hotel beer garden (biergarten) was said to be the first of its kind in Australia.
