Tom Grady Real Estate is privileged to offer for sale the Empire Hotel located at 196 Mary Street, Gympie.
The building currently known as the Empire Hotel started life as the Newmarket Hotel and was rebuilt as the Miners Arms in 1872.
The name changed around the First World War to the current Empire Hotel, and the building has remained almost unchanged since that time.
Situated on a 607 m2 block, the hotel includes a main bar fronting Mary Street, an internal bar servicing the dining area and rear deck, and an equipped commercial kitchen. Furnished accommodation facilities include three double rooms and one single room, all set for short or long term customers with communal kitchen and bathroom facilities.
The top floor also includes living quarters for an onsite manager including a kitchen, living area, two bedrooms, office area and bathroom. There is also a parking area at the rear of the Hotel.
The Empire has not been fully functional since the February 2022 floods, with some works done to re-open the main bar area for a short time in early 2022. Renovations will be required to bring the Empire back to full operational condition.
The Empire presents an opportunity for its next owner to restore this popular Hotel to its previous operational standard, or to consider renovating to extend the accommodation or dining / entertainment facilities.
The Empire Hotel is listed for sale on a walk in / walk out basis at $1,000,000 plus GST if applicable.
