The Collingwood Hotel has occupied the current site since the 1880’s. Prior to this the hotel was used as a homestead or early style motel called Mrs Gillicks which served as a resting place for travellers on the Hume Highway making their way to Goulburn.
It is believed it was named after the important local historic land grant based around Collingwood House. It shared its name with several significant landmark buildings in the Liverpool area of which only two remain, Collingwood House and the Collingwood Hotel.
In the 1930s the hotel underwent major renovations, the most impressive of which was the addition of the heritage listed Tudor style façade. It is possibly this feature that makes the hotel so easily recognisable today.
The hotel was acquired by the Porter family in 1991 and it remains a family run business today.
The hotel has had three further major renovations the first being in 1997, the second in 2003 and lastly in 2007. Whilst renovations have sought to keep up with demand and current trends of the hotel’s patrons, even greater efforts were made to maintain the existing heritage features. |
