Located at the corner of Rockingham Road and Cockburn Road, it was built in 1912, and operated as a hotel until the late 1990s.

It has sometimes been referred to as being in South Fremantle, [1] [2] and at other times, Hamilton Hill. [3] [4]

The hotel was often chosen as a terminating point for cycling events. [5] It was also named as a tram line extension point, [6] [7] and was a local focal point for the horse racing industry. [8] The hotel was a filming location in the 1991 cult film Black Neon. [9]

Change in lease/management was regular during its operational years. [10]

After being vacant for 18 years, it was renovated and reopened in 2017 as Hamilton House, a dance studio for the Swan River Ballet school. [11] [12] [13] [14]
