Hotel, still in use, built in circa 1900 at a time when Stonehaven was gaining a growing reputation as a seaside resort, with later alterations and additions. It is a three-storey and attic, two-bay, terraced finely droved sandstone ashlar hotel with polished dressings, a bracketed ground floor cornice, stone transoms and mullions, raked cills, broad oriel bays, mock half-timbering and first and second floor window cornices, with the second floor cornice incorporated into the eaves cornice. The grey slate roof has broad, coped ashlar stacks with a full-complement of polygonal cans, ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts and decorative bargeboarding. The principal west elevation has two fixed windows to the ground floor, each consisting of a serpentine timber transom and two mullions. These are flanked by a two-leaf panelled timber door at the outer north and an altered entrance at the outer south. A pair of five-light, shallow canted transomed windows rise through each bay at the first and second floors, giving way to a decorative metalwork parapet with 'ROYAL HOTEL' lettering. A pair of five-light dormer windows above have half-timbered gableheads.
