Montpellier+Hotel

__**1858**__ Montpellier Hotel, picnic gardens and pleasure grounds, Barrabool hills, Geelong, is what an early advertisement for the Montpellier hotel read. It was advertised as being as good as a dream, picturesque, having all the charms of rural life, and the comforts and luxuries of a sumptuous and elegant cuisine. The purveyor (Mr Hooper) had quite a reputation for owning quality establishments, and it was expected that his established reputation would reflect on the quality of the wine and spirits, food, comfort and car of the hotel and its staff. It was due to be opened on the 26th of October.
