ROYAL HOTEL
Nestled in the heart of historic Herberton on Queensland's Atherton Tablelands, The Royal Hotel is a true Queensland icon. Established in 1880, it's the oldest continuously licensed pub on the Tablelands, offering authentic character, warm hospitality, and the charm of a classic timber Queenslander pub.
Herberton, the oldest town on the Atherton Tablelands, was founded in 1880 following the discovery of rich tin deposits. This pioneering tin-mining hub quickly grew into a bustling community and now captivates visitors with its rich heritage. Highlights include the award-winning Historic Village Herberton—an outdoor pioneer museum bringing Australia's timber, farming, and mining history to life—plus the Spy & Camera Museum, scenic trails, nearby national parks, and stunning high-country scenery along the Wild River.
Whether you're exploring the region's history, enjoying a cold one, or staying overnight in our comfortable, spotlessly clean rooms, The Royal Hotel is the perfect base.
