JLL in conjunction with Real Specialists announce the successful sale of the famous Imperial Hotel in Murwillumbah after a comprehensive campaign. The hotel garnered significant interest given its prime location in the heart of this beautiful town, stunning renovation, and the highly desirable northern NSW location.

Originally built in 1931 in the fashionable Art Deco style of the era, the property has recently undergone a comprehensive redevelopment to enhance the beautiful and traditional features. The outcome is a truly remarkable hotel that is virtually without compare in northern NSW. Nothing has been missed in this project, from period tiling and lighting, stylish copper bar frontage, and feature ceiling fans. The passionate vendors even showed enough foresight to retain the original bar front and re-use the materials to create unique and attractive features thorough the customer areas.

The hotel was originally purchased by Shane Nugent, who then set about bringing this remarkable hotel back to life. The painstaking work of passion has created a hotel worthy of its iconic status, attracting patrons from right across northern NSW, Byron Bay, and the Gold Coast. He is proud of what he has achieved and looks forward to seeing the next chapter in the hotel’s life. “I’d like to welcome the guys to Murwillumbah and the rich history breathed into the walls on the Imperial Hotel. After seven proud years of being the owner and calling the Imperial Home, it’s now time to pass that responsibility onto new owners. Hopefully they will get the warm, friendly welcome I got from the locals”.

Buyers Lachlan, Tim, and Nick said the group was very excited to be taking over a landmark venue in such a vibrant and growing location in Northern Rivers. “It’s a credit to the existing owners who have done an incredible job bringing the building and venue to life and we look forward continuing this long into the future.”

Mark Walsh of JLL Pubs and Hospitality says “This is one of the most beautiful pubs in the region, and restored to a level that is worthy of both its heritage and iconic status. Shane has done a remarkable job on the project, and I look forward to Lachlan, Tim, and Nick taking this wonderful hotel forward”.

The settlement concluded on the 15th of August, with the final sale price remaining confidential.
