Palma Rosa, Heritage residence in Hamilton, Queensland, Australia.

Palma Rosa is a three-story sandstone residence at 9 Queens Road, distinguished by spacious rooms, intricate timber work, and decorative cornices throughout. The house displays characteristic features of upscale residential architecture from the late 1800s.

The residence was constructed in 1887 during a period of economic growth in Queensland, designed by architect Andrea Stombuco. Stone from Petrie's Quarry was used in the building process by local craftsmen.

The house was first named Sans Souci, French for "without care", and Stombuco held an entertainment there in mid-December 1887 to mark its completion. The main hallway has an arch on fluted Corinthian columns and a floor of tessellated Minton tiles, with Sicilian marble steps at the front door and porch.

Palma Rosa stands at 9 Queens Road in Hamilton, on the corner of Queens Road and Crescent Road, north-east of Brisbane's central business district. The three-storey house is a private residence, so the sandstone elevations, the front steps of Sicilian marble and the surviving sections of the southern and western verandahs are seen from the street. Its entry in the Queensland Heritage Register, dated 21 October 1992, records the 1886–87 construction.

The house was first named Sans Souci, French for "without care", and Stombuco held an entertainment there in mid-December 1887 to mark its completion. Title to the site, part of the Toorak Estate subdivision, was obtained in 1886.
