History
[edit]The Port Admiral Hotel was built by Robert Sanders and opened in 1849.[1] The hotel was originally named the 'Railway Hotel' to reflect a proposed horse drawn train line.[2] However, subsequent operator Charles Calton decided to rename it after a pub he had previously operated, giving the hotel its current name.[1]
Restoration
[edit]In 2006 the Port Admiral Hotel was closed by its operators. After extensive restoration and renovations the Hotel reopened in 2018.[2] It is often referred to as a symbol of Port Adelaide's economic recovery.[3]
