The landmark 1880 Hotel in Bathurst, a property rich in history and steeped in charm, has officially changed hands in a successful sale handled by Leonard Bongiovanni, Director at MQ & Associates, in conjunction with Deane Moore of Moore and Moore Real Estate.

This freehold hotel, renowned for its blend of historic charm and modern amenities represents an exciting new chapter for its new owners and the local community.

Positioned in a high-visibility location opposite the Bathurst Council and Civic Centre, and The Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, the 1880 Hotel boasts a fully renovated ground level and a large 1,233sqm footprint (approx.) in a prime main street location.

The property features a Main Bar Service and Seating, TAB/Lounge Seating, Whisky/Cocktail Bar with Service and Seating, Bistro Seating, a Commercial Kitchen, and a large undercover Rear Verandah/Beer Garden Seating area with a Raised Stage.

The first floor includes disused accommodation rooms and a manager’s residence, offering additional potential for redevelopment. With flexible B3 Commercial Core zoning, a 2:1 Floor Space Ratio, and a 12-metre height limit, the property presents opportunities for further enhancements.

The rare 24-hour licence adds to its appeal, making it an incredible opportunity for a hands-on operator to capitalise on and enhance the current offering.

Bathurst is a strong regional city with a population exceeding 45,000 people, and the 1880 Hotel’s sale underscores its significance as a key hospitality asset in the area.

“We’re thrilled to have facilitated this transaction and look forward to seeing the next chapter of this iconic hotel unfold.” said Leonard Bongiovanni.
