Masonic Hotel




The present day and art deco style Masonic Hotel was built in 1932.  However, there has been a hotel called the Masonic in this very site since 1861.  The hotel has a very interesting history.  The Queen stayed here during her 1953/54 tour.

  3. Jen, how wonderful to live in Napier. My daughter and son-in-law declared this their favorite city in NZ while on their honeymoon. Looking at your blog, I can see why.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.
