Grosvenor Hotel, Timaru

Affectionately known as the "Grand Old Lady of the South", the Grosvenor Hotel is very much a part of Timaru's history with ornate styling dating back to the last century. The Grosvenor, with its foundation stone being laid in 1875 has a very long and prolific history. The hotel got off to a rough start, as shortly after the hotel was completed it burnt down. The façade you see today comes after the rebuilding in 1915. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has stayed twice giving the hotel its well-known pedigree.
