Guest Rooms
There are three main guest wings in the hotel: Belgravia, Hargravia and Delmonte.
The Belgravia wing was initially the former Belgravia Hotel. After being destroyed by fire, construction started on the new Belgravia wing in 1922 and completed in 1936.
The Hargravia wing is named after 'Hargraves House', initially on the site of the hotel. Hargraves House was built by William Hargraves, son of Edward Hargraves, the alleged discoverer of gold in Australia.
There are three suites in the hotel: the Majestic Room, the Grand Majestic Suite and the Valley Suite.
The part of the hotel that currently houses the fitness centre was formerly the rooms for single young men. They were known as 'the stables', apparently because of the stable-type doors on the rooms. Every morning a bell would ring before dawn so that young couples could get back to rooms so as not to get caught fraternising with the opposite sex.
The new hotel guest accommodation will open in stage two, 2 years after stage 1, and will include 2 new accommodation wings: The Belgravia Wing + The Mark Foy Wing - new luxury suites with spectacular views + Penthouse and the largest Spa complexes in the southern hemisphere – includes 700sqm mineral spa & pool area with a signature hydrotherapy menu – putting “Hydro” element back into the Hydro Majestic Hotel. There will also be 8 treatment rooms positioned over a 4-storey glass atrium overlooking the Megalong Valley.

Famous quotes containing the words guest and/or rooms:
“‘Ye have robbed,’ said he, ‘ye have slaughtered and made an end,
Take your ill-got plunder, and bury the dead:
What will ye more of your guest and sometime friend?’
‘Blood for our blood,’ they said.”
—Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)
“I see slip to the curb the long machines
Out of whose warm and windowed rooms pirouette
Shellacked with silk and light
The hard legs of our women.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
