The Hydro Majestic: Blue Mountains’ Iconic Art Deco Escape Reimagined

Eat / 17 July 2025

Perched above the Megalong Valley in Medlow Bath, The Hydro Majestic is one of the Blue Mountains’ most treasured landmarks.

Famous for its striking Art Deco architecture and storied past, this iconic hotel has been reimagined for today’s traveller seeking both adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re here for a cosy stay, a leisurely lunch, or just to soak up the history, The Hydro promises an unforgettable escape framed by sweeping valley views.

Exploring The Hydro is now easier than ever with a scenic train journey to Medlow Bath, followed by a short walk over the new overpass straight into the heart of this historic property. Grab a drink by the crackling fireplace in cooler months or dine alfresco under the summer sun, all while surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains.
