Savills Australia and New Zealand are pleased to announce the sale of the beloved Royal Hotel Ingham, facilitated through an off-market Expressions of Interest process. The sale marks the end of an era for Alan and Sharyn Quagliotto and the Quagliotto family, who have proudly owned and operated the hotel since 1959.
The hotel was originally purchased by Alan’s father, and for more than six decades, it has remained under their stewardship, serving as a central gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
Alan, who took over management from his father, has been at the helm for decades, ensuring the Royal Hotel continued its tradition of warm hospitality, great food, and a welcoming community atmosphere. Understandably, the decision to sell has been an emotional one, with Alan feeling the deep sentimental significance of parting with a venue so closely tied to his family’s history.
Situated approximately 110km north of Townsville and 1,465km northwest of Brisbane, the Royal Hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of Ingham’s town centre. Its strategic positioning offers convenient access to some of Australia’s most breathtaking natural attractions. Just a short drive away lies the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, the breathtaking Hinchinbrook Island, and Wallaman Falls, Australia’s highest single-drop waterfall.
Kath Brassington, Associate Director, Hotels at Savills Australia and New Zealand said, “The hotel has long benefited from a steady flow of locals, tourists, and adventure seekers, making it an attractive investment in the thriving North Queensland tourism and hospitality sector.”
