  • Lassiter's Hotel: Originally owned by Jack Lassiter, Rosemary Daniels and the Daniels/Robinson Corporation then bought the Erinsborough branch and took control of the entire chain of hotels worldwide. Lassiter's was sold to Lambert Industries in 2002 who owned the company until the destruction of the Erinsborough complex in 2004 when it was bought back by Paul Robinson. The Erinsborough hotel has had such employees as Felicity Scully, Paul Robinson, Toadfish Rebecchi, Melanie Pearson, Christina Alessi and Taj Coppin. Lassiter's other branches exist in Darwin, London, Montana and New York, to name but a few locations. Within the Erinsborough hotel is a shopping arcade, which among other concessions has a book store, chemists shop, clothing boutique and gift shop, whilst dining is provided at the hotel's restaurants including the recently opened "Lucinda's At Lassiter's". For the convenience of guests, a fitness suite, health spa and function facilities are also available at Lassiter's. Forming an attractive courtyard area within the hotel grounds are the following independently managed businesses:
  • The General Store: A cafĂ©/Post Office/Basic Stationery store, that is owned by Lou Carpenter and Harold Bishop. It was originally owned by Daphne Lawrence under the name "Daphne's". Throughout its time it has had many other owners as well, including Madge Bishop and Isabelle Hoyland, and has also gone by the names "The Hungry Bite" when it was taken over by Stephen Gottlieb, "The Holy Roll" when it was taken over by Mark Gottlieb and "The Coffee Shop" when the Bishops got it. In the 2004 Season finale, Lou's Place was set alight and burned down, while "The Coffee Shop", although not being totally destroyed, needed major repairs and renovations. Harold and Isabelle ended their partnership, and he started a partnership with Lou. They got the Coffee Shop rebuilt, and renamed it "The General Store". During his midlife crisis, Lou Carpenter insisted upon calling it the "GS", much to Harold's disgust. The General Store was owned by Paul Robinson after Paul opened up a rival cafe within the Lassiter's complex which drove Lou and Harold broke, making them unable to pay the rent for their store. Lou, Harold and Mishka managed to get the Store back by tricking Paul into thinking it needed major structural repairs.
  • Charlie's: A Bar/Restaurant owned by Paul Robinson and leased to Max and Isabelle Hoyland. It had previously been "The Waterhole", during which time it was officially Lassiter's Hotel bar and run by hotel management. However, Cheryl Stark was forced to sell off her newly acquired shares in the complex in 1995 and decided to run the pub enterprise independently. Between 1994 and 1996, the bar was called "Chez Chez" in honour of its manageress but following Cheryl's death and a refit, Lou decided to make his own mark and "Lou's Place" was born. In 2004, it was set on fire and burnt to the ground along with the "Coffee Shop". Max Hoyland ended his partnership with Lou and started a partnership with his sister Izzy, and they built "Scarlet Bar" on the site that "Lou's Place" had previously stood. Max originally wanted to call it "Max-Iz", but Izzy decided to change the name to "Scarlet Bar" at the last minute without informing her brother. As Max has now left Erinsborough, Scarlet Bar is now run by his wife, Steph. Will Griggs worked there in the past, but after he left, Frazer Yeats replaced him. Max's son Boyd and his wife Janae also work there. Steph recently relaunched the bar with a new look and changed the name to "Charlie's" named after her son Charlie.
  • Erinsborough Medical Centre: Erinsborough Medical Centre used to be Paul's office at Lassiter's Hotel and office of Helen Daniels' chauffeur business 'Home James', but was then bought by Karl Kennedy and converted into a medical centre. As of 2003 the legal firm "Tim Collins and Associates" has shared the building with the medical centre. It was extensively damaged in the fire of 2004, but has recently been rebuilt. When Karl quit Medicine "Tim Collins and Associates" began using Karl's office as well.
  • A Good Hair Day Salon: "A Good Hair Day" is a salon owned by Gino Esposito. It has had such employees as Felicity Scully, Lyn Scully and Janelle Timmins. The salon occupies a section of the north wing of the hotel building, which once housed "Lassiter's Brasserie".
