The Royal Exchange Hotel (locally known as the 'RE') is a heritage-listed hotel located at 10 High Street, Toowong, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

History

The Royal Exchange Hotel was built in about 1886, designed by Brisbane architect Richard Gailey.[1] The first licensee was William Robertson.[2]

In 1917 Jim Cavill was the licensee of the Royal Exchange. He went on to be the pioneer of Surfers Paradise.[3]

In August 2013, the Australian Pub Fund bought the hotel with a final offer between $35 million and $40 million.  This purchase is the biggest deal on record in Brisbane.[4]

The pub featured in the 2007 film All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane.

Heritage listing

The Royal Exchange is listed on the Brisbane Heritage Register. It is a prominent landmark in the centre of Toowong and has been an important part of social life in Toowong for over a century.[1]
