Central Hotel, Heritage hotel in Cairns, Australia
The Central Hotel extends across three floors with a classic colonial architectural design featuring wide verandas and timber details throughout the structure.
The building was constructed during the 1900s gold rush period and served as accommodation for miners and traders coming through the developing port city.
The Central Hotel represents the architectural methods of early Australian builders who adapted European designs to suit the tropical climate of North Queensland.
The hotel stands at the intersection of Shields Street and Abbott Street, within walking distance of the Cairns Esplanade and marina district.
The structure maintains its original configuration with separate public bars that were once designated for different social classes during the early 20th century.
