The Port Admiral Hotel is located on the corner of St Vincent Street and Commercial Road in the centre of Port Adelaide, South Australia.

## History

The Port Admiral Hotel was built by Robert Sanders and opened in 1849. The hotel was originally named the 'Railway Hotel' to reflect a proposed horse drawn train line. However, subsequent operator Charles Calton decided to rename it after a pub he had previously operated, giving the hotel its current name.

## Restoration

In 2006 the Port Admiral Hotel was closed by its operators. After extensive restoration and renovations the Hotel reopened in 2018. It is often referred to as a symbol of Port Adelaide's economic recovery.
