Royal Private Hotel Charters Towers
Restored Heritage-Style Accommodation
Although the current building was not constructed until 1888, the site is recognised as the first hotel in Charters Towers.
Two miners set up their trading promises on this site shortly after Hugh Mosman’s party reported their gold find in 1872.
Originally known as the ‘Reefers Arms Hotel’, the name was changed by Richard Hargreaves in 1877 to the Royal Hotel.
In 1888, a local architect and builder were commissioned to build the brick and wood premises that stand today.
After construction was complete, it was considered one of the largest and best appointed hotels in the North.
The last licensee was Mrs. Emma Halbert until December 1948. Since then the Hotel has primarily provided comfortable lodgings
