Exchange Hotel, Mossman

The Exchange Hotel is a hospitality building featuring traditional timber construction located at the intersection of Front and Mill streets in Mossman, a small Queensland town. The property contains multiple room types including single, double, and queen beds, as well as larger apartments suitable for extended stays.

The original building constructed in 1896 was destroyed by a cyclone and replaced by a new structure in 1934 designed according to principles of the period. The replacement building reflects architectural approaches of that era and has remained in operation since its construction.

The building became a gathering place for the local community, where people met for celebrations, meetings, and everyday social occasions throughout its decades of operation. This role as a social hub remains visible in how the space is organized and used today.

The hotel offers accommodations with different room configurations suitable for both short stays and longer visits, with weekly rates available for extended periods. Its central location at the street intersection makes it easy to navigate the town center and access local amenities.

The building has survived multiple natural disasters and extensive renovations while maintaining its original function as lodging and meeting space. Its listing on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2012 recognized its importance as one of the town's oldest commercial structures.
