Description

Established in 1882, the Largs Pier has long been an imposing landmark overlooking the Lefevre Peninsula. Its three-story bluestone structure with stuccoed arcades on all levels, elegant archways adorned by eagles with outstretched wings and its grand staircase, are all symbols of elegant craftsmanship from a bygone era. But, beyond its aesthetic delight, the Largs Pier's purpose was pragmatic and pure. For years it served as a haven for shore-hungry sailors and as a landmark to port. Ship captains could set a course by the lights of the hotel which could be easily seen far out to sea. It was a place of refuge and comfort and security. If you're a rock lover, this hotel hosted the likes of Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, AC/DC.
