Above pictures taken from Google Maps 2010.

The Deal History Society give the opening and closing dates as 1878 (alehouse) and 1960s respectively, but from the information below, the Hotel was still operating as late as 1974 and I have found reference to a "Family Hotel" at Prince of Wales Terrace in 1874.

http://home.freeuk.net/eastkent/deal/pubs.htm I believe the above information to be an amalgamation of this and the other "Queen's Hotel" formerly the "South Eastern Hotel."

Situated between Sonds Street and Stanley Road, this premises was operating in 1874 as a Family Hotel, under the reign of Mrs. Emily Childs. However, an article that appeared in the local newspaper of 8 June 1878 indicated that the hotel was nearing completion. In that year Mr. John Willoughby was given as proprietor and it was stated that he could have a drinks licence for the building as long as they remained in one as they are. However, there is no mention of the hotel having a licence the following year.

In 1888 Mr. Willoughby was fined for allowing out of hours drinking.

The hotel has now been converted into a block of flats, but I am unsure when this took place or indeed when the premises ceased being a hotel.
