The hotel was constructed in 1889. Its first owner was Robert T. Davies, who founded the Dominion Brewery to the west of the building (now Dominion Square) in 1877. Davies had previously been the manager of the nearby Don Brewery, owned by his relative Thomas Davies.
As originally constructed, the hotel was four stories tall, had a mansard roof, and a small tower. The top floor, once "boasted an elegant performance space". Sometime after 1945 the structure lost its fourth floor, mansard roof and tower.
The bar closed in 2014 for renovation work. In mid-2015 FAB Restaurant Concepts purchased the bar and on Nov. 31st, 2015 it was re-opened as the Dominion Pub & Kitchen. The upper floors continue to be used as a hotel of 25 units.
