The Hydro Majestic Hotel was founded in 1901 by Mark Foy, a retail tycoon of the time as Australia's first health retreat and is rich in history and decadence, with Foy even going as far as to have the name of the town changed to Medlow Bath. This world heritage listed establishment is just under a two hour drive from Sydney in the Blue Mountains National Park and stretches 1.1 Km across the escarpment, with stunning panoramic views over the Megalong Valley. The hotel is beautifully preserved with refined and elegant art deco style interiors to its 54 guest rooms, ballroom, functions areas and 3 restaurants.
