In July 2018, the historic 1932 General Gordon Hotel was severely damaged by fire. 
Rohrig were engaged to completely demolish the interior of the hotel, while maintaining the 2-storey heritage facade. 
This exceptionally challenging but ultimately satisfying project to the historic hotel involved integrating major rebuilding and renovation works into the heritage facade then restoring all the heritage detail including columns, balconies, and tiles. 
The major refurbishment was completed in two stages. Stage 1 included setting up temporary facilities to carry out demolition and rebuilding the gaming and toilet areas. Stage 2 focused on the refurbishment of the public bar, kitchen, and lounge areas along with external signage to the facade.
The 2-storey building has four bars, a commercial kitchen, eight rooms of accommodation and a terrace with a retractable roof. The layout features a friendly alfresco courtyard, bistro area, timber laded sports bar and bottle shop.
Congratulations to the Rohrig team in delivering this complex project for the community, the overall impression is one of exceptional quality.
