Great Northern Hotel, Townsville, Heritage-listed hotel in Townsville CBD, Australia.

The two-story brick building features wide verandahs with cast-iron balustrading and classical elements at 500 Flinders Street in the central business district.

Constructed between 1900 and 1901 by Wilson Hart & Company for £9,000, the hotel emerged following the announcement of a new Townsville railway terminus.

The establishment has remained a central gathering place in Townsville since 1901, with its 36 bedrooms and traditional Queensland architectural elements.

Visitors can access the hotel's preserved dining areas, hallways, and original timber features while staying in rooms that open onto traditional verandahs.

The interior maintains its historical character with timber dado paneling in the foyer, leadlight glass windows, and tongue and groove boarding throughout bedrooms.
