The present Hotel was built in 1922 and the license transferred from the old site on 17th November 1922. Miss Ella Tyler whose family that owned and operated the original hotel, was the first licensee of the present hotel.
The new Royal Hotel was built to capture the growing tourism population attracted by the health giving qualities of the mountain air, the spring water and the proximity bush walks and gullies. Bundanoon has been described as possibly being Australia’s first resort and at one stage having around 40 guesthouses.
I love popping in to have a drink here - it is like stepping back in time!
