Central Hotel Port Douglas

Established in 1878, the Central Hotel is Port Douglas's oldest pub, originally known as the North Australian Hotel. Rebuilt after the 1911 cyclone, it now features a two-story structure that blends historic charm with modern renovations, including open timber decks and lush tropical landscaping. The hotel boasts three bars: the historic Public Bar with Keno and an air-conditioned pokie room; the Verandah Bar, ideal for cocktails; and the Garden Bar, a family-friendly oasis with a grassed play area. Guests can enjoy generous pub meals, daily specials, and free nightly entertainment. The hotel also offers two conveniently located bottle shops, providing a wide selection of wines, beers, spirits, and ready-to-drinks.
