The Dundee Arms Hotel, commonly called The Dundee Arms, is a heritage-listed pub located at 171 Sussex Street, in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was built in 1860. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.




History


The Dundee Arms Hotel was constructed pre-1860 and is one of the oldest surviving pubs in the area. It is a feature of the development of Darling Harbour as an overwhelmingly industrial and maritime suburb, the hotel serviced the working-class people employed nearby and sailors from the ships docked in the harbour. Throughout the 1870s and until 1888 it was managed by Thomas Ricketts, the hotel's longest serving publican. Pubs like the Dundee Arms were a focus for the local and visiting populations' social life. The hotel has been in mostly continuous operation.
It was incorporated into the Nikko Hotel (now Hyatt Regency Darling Harbour) development from 1989 to 1991; though physically standalone from the large modern hotel, it has been operated as part of the hotel complex ever since.




Description



The Dundee Arms Hotel is a typical early pub design of Victorian Regency style painted and/or rendered sandstone with slate roof; pre-1860s largely original three storey building with sound exterior and two small terraces of roughly the same date attached at the side rear facing former market lane.
