First opened as Watson’s Hotel, a double-storeyed building constructed on the main Road frontage circa 1887 for Christopher Watson, the Eltham Hotel has social and historical significance as an important meeting place within the Little Eltham township. With additions and/or extensive rebuilding during the First World War period and later, The Eltham Hotel has been a local landmark on this site for more than a century. The building as it is today dates from the 1920s and/or later and was the meeting place in the 1950s of Eltham’s artists, intellectuals and (other) mud brick builders, who were developing a distinctive local lifestyle at that time. At The Eltham Hotel we offer two great spaces catering for different groups, sizes and budgets. Whether your next event is a birthday, engagemen
