In 1881, Prospect House on the shore of Blue Mountain Lake in New York's Adirondack Mountains was the first hotel in the world with an electric light in every room.
As it was far out in the wilderness Prospect House had its own Edison dynamo to generate that electricity.
The hotel was gone in 1915.

When did electricity come to Australia?
The first public demonstration of electricity in the form of lighting in Australia occurred in Sydney as early as the 1830s, thanks to a strong push by Governor Bourke. However, electricity was not readily available to houses or anywhere else then. The introduction of electricity was a gradual thing, and it wasn't until 1863 that the city of Sydney was lit up to mark the occasion of the wedding of the Prince of Wales. Electric lighting was only used regularly in Sydney, the largest city, from 1878.
