Monty's Bar is a local landmark. Presently only the bar is functional.[2] Monty's Hotel was declared as Grade IIb heritage structure by HUDA.[3]

Presently, the hotel is in a dilapidated condition and poorly maintained. There was a proposal in 2009 by state government to delist it from the list of Heritage structures and demolish it[4] . However, this was stayed by AP High Court[5]
