Hydro Majestic

The Hydro Majestic hotel snakes for over a kilometre along the escarpment overlooking the Megalong and Kanimbla valleys. The grand vision of wealthy entrepreneur Mark Foy, the Hydro opened as an exclusive luxury hotel renowned for its opulence, fine food and entertainments. Over the decades it has undergone many transformations, updating its decor and amenities to suit changing tastes. After an extended period of decline, a revitalised Hydro reopened in 2014.
