The Victoria Park Hotel has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: • The place has aesthetic value as it is representative of c1920s Federation Free Classical style of architecture; and • The place has social and historical value as it has functioned since 1927 to service the Victoria Park community as a meeting place for social occasions.
The Victoria Park Hotel is a two storey face brick and render building with a terracotta tile hip roof, constructed in the Federation Free Classical architectural style. The place is located at the corner of Albany Highway and State Street. The original portion of the hotel is to the northern corner of the site, contained within a U shape hip terracotta tile roof. The Hotel faces Albany Highway to the north east with a two storey masonry arched verandah. Above the verandah is a rendered parapet wall concealing a corrugated steel skillion roof behind. To the centre of the parapet wall is a glazed tile feature that reads, “Victoria Park Hotel”. There are two masonry chimneys to either side of the hip roof behind. There are a series of additions to the rear of the original building that include a drive-thru bottle shop, storage and offices. Further south of the Hotel is a bitumen carpark. To the east of the Hotel is a Bistro with an open courtyard facing Albany Highway.
The Victoria Park Hotel on Albany Highway is situated on the site of the original Victoria Park Hotel which opened in 1908. The second hotel was built in 1927 for the Swan Brewery (according to plans submitted to the City of Perth for planning approval). At one time the Victoria Park Hotel was near the terminus for the tram. Also, the paved surface of the Albany Highway ended at the Victoria Park Hotel. After this point the highway continued as a plank road through to East Victoria Park. In 1992 the Victoria Park Hotel was purchased by Peter Cinanni and the building underwent restoration in subsequent years. In 2020 the interior of the hotel appears to have been recently renovated and a small barber shop is setup to the south west corner of the hotel (accessed through the bar area)
