Overview
Located in the heart of Murwillumbah, The Imperial Hotel is an iconic pink Art Deco pub and hotel, just a short walk from the town's main attractions including the M|Arts Precinct, Tweed Regional Museum, boutique shopping and the Tweed River.
First opened in 1931 after being reconstruction not once but twice due to fires in 1097 and 1929, The Imperial is one of the Tweed Valley's oldest hotels and a standout example of the region's celebrated Art Deco architecture. Its salmon-pink façade is instantly recognisable and reflects a history as colourful as the building itself. Tales of a resident ghost remain part of local lore.
Today, The Imperial Hotel is a vibrant hub for locals and visitors alike, featuring a public bar, bistro, bottleshop, live music every weekend, weekday happy hour and regular community events.
