The Margaret River Hotel will be framed by 75 metres of landscaped garden beds, alongside public bike racks and a new front terrace for the corner bar.

The three driveways that cut through the footpath are being reduced to one, and there will be new roadside drop off bays on Bussell Highway, plus longer stay parking bays on Willmott Avenue.

To complete this work, the footpath around the Hotel's perimeter will be inaccessible from today until the end of May. Our neighbours The Little Press, Margaret River Sweet Shop and Mai Tardi Gelateria are open and ready to welcome you.

We’ve stacked multiple trades people to get things done as quickly as possible - we appreciate your patience and understanding.

See you at the Margaret River Hotel later this year.

A special milestone today, as we honour the 90th anniversary of the Margaret River Hotel, which opened 11 April, 1936 by Mr Bernard McKeown. Following a transformative restoration, Margaret River's treasured heart of town will reopen in late-2026. It's been a monumental job, and the finish line, thankfully, is now clearly in sight.

Enjoy these photos, highlighting the history, the project, and a preview of what's coming at Margaret River's very own jewel of heritage architecture and design. Visit our website to read more - we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
