Hydro Majestic is a hotel oozing with history. Perched on the escarpment at Medlow Bath in the Blue Mountains, NSW, this grand beauty boasts amazing views across the Megalong Valley. Hydro Majestic Hotel was opened by Mark Foy in 1904 as an upmarket health spa and retreat, and was one of Australia’s first luxury resorts.
Hydro Majestic was ahead of its time, boasting its own electricity generator and spring water systems. It featured elaborate architecture that blended an interesting mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco styles. Today, Hydro Majestic’s historic grandeur and modern comforts provide visitors with a refined escape and the perfect base for exploring the magnificent Blue Mountains.
Hydro Majestic is a heritage-listed building stretching 1.1 kilometres along the edge of an escarpment in the Blue Mountains. Its rooms include Heritage Rooms and Heritage Valley View Rooms, with many featuring ornate detailing, classic furnishings, and spectacular valley vistas.
The Hotel, built in 1903, was originally the Medlow Bath Hydropathic Establishment. The following year, it opened its doors as a health retreat. In 1906, it was rebranded as the Hydro Majestic and marketed to the ‘well-to-do’ as an exclusive luxury hotel.
For visitors not staying at Hydro Majestic, you can still enjoy its luxury offerings. Dining is a highlight at Hydro Majestic. The Wintergarden serves the famous Hydro Majestic High Tea and a delightful dinner experience. The Belgravia Bar and Lounge offers elegant cocktails to sip while taking in the amazing surroundings, or for something a little more casual, head to Boiler House Café to relax and soak up the atmosphere.
UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, two hours west of Sydney, is one of Australia’s most iconic and accessible natural destinations. For over a century, the area has provided Sydneysiders and travellers from far and wide with a welcome place to stop and rest a while.

The nearby Scenic World attraction offers guests an unforgettable experience riding the world’s steepest passenger railway or scenic cableway or simply take in the views on the elevated boardwalk as it winds its way through the ancient rainforest.
Known for its dramatic sandstone cliffs, lush eucalyptus forests and deep valleys, the Blue Mountains offer the perfect blend of adventure, magnificent scenery, protected wilderness and fascinating culture.
The Hydro Majestic was built by Mark Foy in 1903 and opened in 1904 as a hydropathic or health retreat. It has since become a cultural and historic icon of the Blue Mountains.
