Originally owned by Jewish trader Sir Manasseh Mayer, the Adelphi Hotel opened in 1863. It was later acquired by Armenians Arathoon Sarkies and Eleazar Johannes in 1903. The hotel was shifted to several locations before it settled at the corner of North Bridge Road and Coleman Street. In the mid-1980s, the hotel was demolished to make way for a building known today as The Adelphi.
