The Hydro Hotel is a great example of this. Completed in 1919 as an accommodation house for senior and administrative personnel in the development of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, the hotel was expanded and licensed in 1924 when prohibition in the MIA was repealed.

The Hydro Hotel remains a wonderful legacy to the vision of these early pioneers of the area. A true Leeton landmark, this iconic building has survived the test of time and is part of the rich history of the region.
