Railway Hotel, Gympie, Heritage-listed hotel in Gympie, Australia

The Railway Hotel at 1 Station Road, Gympie, is a large two-storeyed timber building designed by Alexander Brown Wilson and built in 1915–1916 by J J Georges. Its first-floor verandahs and double gabled roof, with a detached kitchen at the rear, follow Wilson's design for a subtropical timber hotel. Pressed metal ceilings line the interior, and two earlier detached rooms were repositioned at the rear.

Walter A Compigne, Gympie's first Clerk of Petty Sessions, built the first single-storey Railway Hotel in 1882 on land beside the new station. A fire destroyed it on the night of 1 February 1915; builder J J Georges completed the replacement to Alexander Brown Wilson's design by February 1916 for owner Charles Caston, at a cost of £1980.

The hotel reflects how accommodation was designed to serve train travelers during the railway era in Queensland. Its position opposite the station shows how central the railway was to the town's daily life and economy.

The hotel sits directly next to the railway station and is easily reached on foot. Access is straightforward and convenient, especially for train passengers arriving or departing from the area.

A direct footbridge connected the railway platform with the hotel entrance, allowing passengers to walk straight from the train into the building. This convenient link made the stay particularly comfortable for arriving and departing travelers.
