Regatta Hotel

For 146 years Brisbane has met, mingled and created memories beyond the iron-laced verandas of the iconic Regatta Hotel. First established as a modest, single-story affair in 1874, the Regatta Hotel has witnessed some of Australia’s most memorable moments in time. Home to legendary sporting achievements and one of the first feminist insurgencies, our Grand Lady of the Brisbane River has withstood flood, fire and more than a century of change. Despite her evolution over the years, some things remained the same: her love for a cold beer, a great steak and the people who shared in her history. Today, the Regatta family – here, interstate and abroad – return to create new stories each day. She now boasts the Boatshed restaurant, Main Bar, Courtyard, River Road Café, the underground Walrus Club and Gaming Room, the results of a $10 million restoration following Brisbane’s 2011 floods.
