A Country Classic with Character, Community & Opportunity

Steeped in history, rich in character and firmly established at the heart of the Dalton community, the Royal Hotel presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated country pub, boutique accommodation business and thriving community gathering place - all on an impressive 2,950m² (approx.) freehold landholding.

Dating back to 1865, this iconic Southern Tablelands hotel blends the warmth and authenticity of traditional country hospitality with the comfort and appeal of modern improvements.

More than just a country pub, the Royal Hotel is an established hospitality destination, bringing together a welcoming bar and dining experience, boutique guest accommodation and a popular setting for community events, weddings and private celebrations.

With an existing trading operation, loyal local following and established functions business, the property offers an incoming owner the opportunity to step into a recognised hospitality venue with genuine character and exciting scope for the future.

The Heart of the Community
Great country pubs are built on more than bricks and mortar - they're built on the people who gather within them.

The Royal Hotel is a much-loved meeting place for Dalton locals and visitors alike, enjoying strong community support and established relationships with local clubs, social groups and regional organisations.

From car and motorcycle club gatherings to weddings, engagement parties, birthdays, baby showers, presentation evenings and community celebrations, the hotel already plays host to a diverse range of events and special occasions.

Its inviting beer garden, welcoming dining spaces and authentic country atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for bringing people together.

This established events and functions trade is a key strength of the business, offering an incoming owner an existing customer base, repeat patronage and the opportunity to further develop the hotel's reputation as a destination for celebrations and regional gatherings.

Boutique Accommodation - Stay a Little Longer

Complementing the hotel's established food and beverage operations is a charming boutique accommodation offering, featuring four guest rooms with traditional furnishings and renovated shared amenities.

With the appeal of a genuine country pub experience, the accommodation caters to weekend travellers, regional visitors, wedding guests and those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

The combination of accommodation, dining and events creates a complete hospitality experience, encouraging guests to stay, dine, celebrate and explore the beautiful Southern Tablelands.
