The CROWN HOTEL was established in the 1880s and was originally
a two-storey building known as the Crown Inn. Surry Hills was then
an overcrowded, working class area, notorious for its drinking dens,
gangs and brothels. Over time, Surry Hills has evolved into trendy
and diverse suburb, renowned for its restaurants, pubs and artistic
community.
In keeping with the dynamic Surry Hills community, the CROWN
HOTEL has undergone many changes over the years from incorporating
a parlour and dining room in the 1940s, to more recently providing
backpacker accommodation in the 1990s.
Today
the CROWN HOTEL is still a Surry Hills favourite, with the
Hotel having completed a major two-year
multi-million dollar
renovation in 2005. This has seen the opening of two new bars,
PLAYERS and DOME, as well as new gaming facilities, outdoor
café and the development of BOUTIQUE ACCOMMODATION on
Level Two.
