WELCOME TO

Hotel Northbridge is a unique heritage-listed property steeped in history, originally built in 1898. The hotel was established during the boom of the gold prospecting era with proceeds from the discovery of one of Western Australia’s largest gold nuggets named the ‘Golden Eagle’. Originally renowned as the ‘Royal Standard’, providing travellers and local patrons a place of comfort, rest and recreation. Visitors enjoyed 18th Century hospitality, whilst their faithful equine steeds would be tendered by on-site stable hands, ready for another hard days travel.

In November 1999, the owner and developer completed his innovative vision of restoring the Hotel’s heritage-listed features including the resurrection of the original balcony. Alongside this, was the opportunity to implement a unique and exciting modern 4-Star accommodation facility.

Statement from Hotel Northbridge

On 28 August 2020 at about 8:00pm, two police officers came to our hotel asking if

we have seen a person whom our staff identified him to be Mr X. Mr X is our regular

customer who has previously stayed at our hotel. The police officers later found him

at the hotel bar. They talked to Mr X at the hotel restaurant and took him away after

that.

Contrary to media reports, Hotel Northbridge was not forced to shut down and was

allowed by the Health Department and WA Police to operate business as usual after

the initial investigation last night. We however decided to err on the side of caution

and closed the pub early to undergo thorough cleaning and disinfection. No

quarantine of hotel staff or other follow-up action was requested by the Health

Department and WA Police. Hotel Northbridge has not been used as a quarantine

hotel for returned travellers.

Hotel Northbridge takes the safety and health of all our guests and staff very

seriously. We maintain high standards of hygiene, and practice social distancing in

accordance with the federal and state guidelines. All our staff attended the AHA

Hospitality & Tourism COVID-19 Hygiene Course and we observed strictly what we

have learnt from the training.

We would like to commend WA Police for taking swift action to safeguard our venue,

staff, patrons and public, and for their professionalism during the investigation. We

will continue to work closely with the Health Department and WA Police to ensure

that our guests and our staff continue to remain safe.
