The Oriental Hotel is an excellent example of a late nineteenth century Victorian Italianate hotel, and is notable as the work of the prominent architect John Teague. Begun in 1883, this building is notable as one of the first hotels in the Old Town District. Its 1888 expansion, which doubled its size to include additional rooms, unique cantilevered corner bay windows, and a west facade over Oriental Alley, reflects a continued belief in the economic prosperity of the competitive hotel industry which thrived in Victoria's late nineteenth century economy.
