Mount Macedon's first hotel, The Mountain Inn, was built in 1864 by carpenter William Watson. It was initially located right next door to the Mount Macedon Hotel’s current location. It was later renamed Waterfalls Hotel.William Watson and his family lived in the original hotel building, where in his retirement he carved creations, known as Watson’s Curiosities, that were displayed in his front garden. By 1871, the name had changed again, this time to the Oriental Hotel. This was before a new weatherboard building, also named Oriental Hotel, was erected two doors to the south. In 1931, the Oriental Hotel was destroyed by a fire that began in the kitchen and quickly spread throughout the whole building.It was rebuilt soon after as the brick building on the same site that stands today as The Mount Macedon Hotel.At times the hotel has been named Oriental Hotel and Gowings Mount Macedon Hotel before reverting to its original name, Mountain Inn in 1987.
