William Malone erected the Canterbury Club Hotel in 1889/90, investing 7000 pounds into a hotel that was superior in its appearance and fittings, presumably representing Malone's high hopes for the district. His family continued to own the hotel into the 1920s, sometimes leasing it to others.

In 1920, Malone's hotel was delicensed after a local option poll voted for the closure of all the district's hotels. Malone's became a "private hotel" providing "superior accommodation" and passed out of the family's hands in the mid-1920s.
