Stuart Arms Hotel

The Stuart Arms Hotel sits at the corner of Parsons and Todd Street, defined by its stone walls and a mix of modern rooms and self-contained units. The property includes spaces for relaxation and gathering across its grounds.

The hotel was founded in 1889 by William Benstead as Alice Springs' first hotel, with the original building serving the community until a fire destroyed it in 1960. The property played a role in the town's early development.

The hotel grounds included The Bungalow structure in 1914, which housed mixed-heritage children until their relocation to Jay Creek in 1928.

The property provides a pool, BBQ area, and laundry facilities available to guests during their stay. Contactless check-in is available to streamline the arrival process.

The grounds once housed The Bungalow structure from 1914 onward, which accommodated children of mixed descent. This facility was relocated to Jay Creek in 1928 as social practices shifted.
