People's Palace, Brisbane, Heritage hotel in Brisbane CBD, Australia
The People's Palace stands at the intersection of Ann and Edward Streets, featuring a Federation-style design with red brick walls and cast-iron decorations.
The Salvation Army opened this four-story building in 1911 as Queensland's first temperance hotel, offering 130 rooms for working-class travelers near Central Railway Station.
The building represents the temperance movement's influence in Queensland society, where alcohol and gambling were prohibited to create a moral living environment.
The structure now functions as office space for the Salvation Army while maintaining its original architectural elements, including pressed metal ceilings and a historic lift.
A rooftop garden with seating for 200 people provided guests with an elevated dining space, marking an innovative amenity for early 20th-century Australian hotels.
