It has (to quote the HES listing) "pepperpot bartizans and crowstepped gablets" - and is listed Grade B https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB45425
The "pepperpot bartizans" can be seen rising from the corners, and the "crowstepped gablets" are the triangular features above the upper windows.

Stromness Hotel and Graham Fountain
The hotel was a Naval HQ in WW1 and the Military HQ for Orkney and Shetland in WW2. The hotel bar takes its name from the Flattie, the local flat-bottomed rowing boat, peculiar to Stromness. The fountain is named after Alexander Graham who won freedom for Stromness from Kirkwall taxation in 1743 - but bankrupted himself in the process.
