Queen's Hotel, Townsville, Heritage-listed former hotel on The Strand, Townsville, Australia

Queen's Hotel is a two-storeyed masonry building on the southern side of The Strand, returning into Wickham Street. It is built of English bond brickwork with rendered detailing, and its two wings end in towers. Erected in stages between 1902 and the late 1920s, it now contains television studios and offices.

Townsville's first Queen's Hotel, a two-storeyed timber building, opened in 1872 at the corner of Wickham Street and The Strand. Publican John Henry Tyack bought the property and licence in 1899 and commissioned Eaton, Bates & Polin to design a brick replacement, built in stages from about 1902; Walter Hunt designed the 1920s additions completed by 1928. During the Second World War the building served as an American army officers' mess.

The hotel served as a meeting place for traveling merchants and business representatives visiting Townsville over many decades. Its location on the busy Strand made it a natural stop for visitors exploring the city.

The building currently houses television studios and office spaces and is not accessible to visitors as a museum or exhibition site. You can view and photograph the architectural details from the street and see the facade from various angles along the Strand.

The cast-iron bandstand built on the foreshore in 1913 had balustrading designed to match that of the hotel, a result of John Henry Tyack's civic work as Mayor of Townsville in 1912. Tyack died in 1913, before the final stages of his hotel were built.
