The Hotel was originally built in Waihi in 1897 by Mr E.Morgan. It had seventy five rooms and was named the “New Central Hotel”. The first proprietors were Mr and Mrs N.G. Power.
Prohibition was voted into Waihi in the early 1900’s and despite a recount, Waihi was voted dry. This came about as an act of defiance to Shorty Buckland, the then proprietor of the Hotel, increasing the beer prices.
Due to this fact and coupled with a population decline, the Hotel was dismantled piece by piece, numbered and bullocked to the rail road in 1917. The Hotel’s re-Construction began in January 1921.
The Hotel was then re-named The “Princes Gate Hotel”. The name became symbolic of the archway entrance to the Government Gardens which had been originally built to commemorate the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall in 1901. The archway was originally erected across the junction of Fenton and Hinemoa Streets, and re-erected on its present site in 1920 to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales.
The Hotel was used as a hospital during the first and second world wars.
The present proprietors Brett and Vlasta Marvelly purchased the Hotel in 1986 with one thing in mind, to make the Princes Gate Hotel not only New Zealand’s finest Boutique Hotel but an attraction for locals and tourists alike. |
