Kirup Hotel is a good example of a Federation Queen Anne style and is a landmark in the Kirup townsite. Since being built in 1905, the Hotel has been a strong focus for the social life of the town.
Kirup Hotel is a single storey painted brick building with a moderately pitched hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof, constructed close to the corner of the South Western Highway and the Upper Capel Road, Kirup. There is a central gabled projection with half timbered apex flanked by verandahs.
In 1905-06, H. Doyle built Kirup Hotel at a cost of £935 for the first licensee, H. Kreitmayer. He was active in community life and served as a member of Balingup Road Board (1908-9). The hotel provided meals, drinks and accommodation for local people and for travellers. At one period refreshments were taken across the road from the hotel for sale to rail travelers when the train was at the station. In more recent years the place has been classified as a tavern, and an area at the rear was developed to include a small caravan park. In the early 2000s, the place continues to provide hospitality services to the local community, tourists and other visitors.
