Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

The Vue Grand Hotel is of local historical and aesthetic significance. A 1927 fire resulted in parts of the hotel being re-built in an inter-War Mediterranean-style, however a good proportion of its Victorian fabric is intact, and what remains is significant.

The Vue Grand is of historical significance as a grand hotel of long standing in the township. The site has been occupied by a hotel since 1859, and was rebuilt into a substantial seaside resort hotel during the 1880s 'boom' period. As for other hotels of this era, it demonstrates the development of Queenscliff as a major seaside resort in Victoria in the 1880s. The Vue Grand Hotel is of significance to Queenscliffe in demonstrating many characteristics and facilities of a substantial nineteenth century Victorian resort hotel.

The Vue Grand is of social significance as a seaside resort hotel known used and valued by Victorians for a century and a half.

It is associated with several prominent citizens including the hotelier and Mayor/Councillor George Admans, and Queenscliff Councillor Lewis Klug.
