Why is it significant?
The Coleraine Hotel is architecturally significant as a typical example of an Interwar country hotel, including the surviving dining room, upstairs accommodation and other spaces.

Historically, this hotel and its predecessor on the site, the Coleraine Inn, served as important meeting places for the community in the early stage of the town's development. The substantial size of the Coleraine Hotel, rebuilt in the early 20th century, on the site of an early Victorian hotel, reflects the size and level of activity in Coleraine during the Soldier Settlement period, when the town's population reached its peak.
