Glenrowan Hotel
The most famous hotel is arguably the Glenrowan Hotel where the Ned Kelly Gang made their last stand.
In 1880 they took over the Glenrowan hotel and took many of the town's residents hostage. They made armour of thick steel to protect themselves from police bullets. Unfortunately the heavy armour made them clumsy. Ned was eventually captured and his brother Dan died in a fire when the Glenrowan hotel was burnt down. The hotel pictured is the old Railway Hotel but now called the Glenrowan. The Ned Kelly Gang also frequented this hotel before the showdown.
