Palace Hotel, Childers, Heritage-listed hotel in Childers, Australia.
The Palace Hotel stands as a two-story masonry building with corrugated iron roofs and a rectangular wing connected through an internal courtyard.
Built in 1902 after a fire destroyed several buildings on Churchill Street, this masonry structure replaced an earlier wooden hotel at the same location.
The structure includes a memorial glass wall created by Queensland artist Sam Di Mauro to commemorate fifteen backpackers who perished in the 2000 fire.
The ground floor now functions as a tourist information center operated by Bundaberg Regional Council, while the upper level houses the Palace Backpackers Memorial.
Sydney artist Josonia Palaitis created a painting depicting all victims of the 2000 fire based on their photographs, which remains displayed in the memorial.
