Grand Hotel, Childers, Heritage hotel in Childers, Australia.

The Grand Hotel is a two-storey brick building at 106–110 Churchill Street, Childers, designed by Bundaberg architect Anton Hettrich and built in 1899. Early photographs show cast-iron balustrading on its verandahs and a widow's walk at the roof peak; by 1908 the verandah had been extended to the eastern elevation.

The two-storey brick hotel was built in 1899 for Johann Wilhelm Albert Kulick, replacing the timber Childers Hotel he had bought in 1897, to a design by Bundaberg architect Anton Hettrich. It was one of five hotels opened in Childers in the 1890s as the Isis district's sugar industry grew. It joined the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.

The hotel served as a central gathering place for workers and residents during the region's sugar industry expansion in the late 1800s. It reflected the town's importance as an economic hub and attracted people from surrounding areas.

The hotel remains operational at a prominent corner location in downtown Childers with accommodation and dining still available. Visitors should note it functions as an active business, so visiting during quieter times allows for better observation and access.

The building was among the few structures that survived the destructive fire of 1902 that damaged much of Childers. This survival makes it an important record of the construction standards of that era and the town's resilience.
