The first Empire Hotel was built on this site in 1890, but was burnt down in 1895. Another hotel was built the same year, and it was that building that forms the basis of the current Empire Hotel. Extensive renovations over the years ahve changed the look of the hotel but in 1996 a further renovation saw the building restored using original photographs.
