The Star History
Running between Hunter and King Streets, it is said to be about eight separate buildings joined together. Built by Queensland gold miner, Ewan Cameron in 1855, the hotel took advantage of the huge demand for accommodation for travellers and railway, coal and construction workers.
Since its conception the property has been passed on through the Cameron family until its sale in 2013. During this time the Star Hotel had a series of stables with horses and wooden cottages, which are no longer recognisable in the current design.
Over the decades the Star Hotel welcomed many types of guests from Professor Godfrey and his monkey circus to the famous Australian band, Cold Chisel. It has also been described throughout its history as being a rabbit warren of rooms even into the 1930s and 1940s.
