The Northern Arts Hotel (formerly the New Northern) was created as a retreat, a place of warmth and welcome that offers much more than just a room. What was once a country pub is now a beautiful guesthouse featuring nine rooms, the result of a restoration in 2012 by furniture maker, Nicholas Dattner. The Northern Arts Hotel provides an honest, uncomplicated and comfortable stay where guests can kick back and relax – a real home away from home. The property also features the Coolroom – a place for jazz and other musical performances in a quiet room atmosphere, as well as other salon-style events.
The Northern Arts Hotel is a place where people come together for shared experiences and stimulating conversations.
Guests should note that all bedrooms are UPSTAIRS, accessible by STAIRS ONLY.
Around 1870, this property, then known as Weber’s Brighton Hotel and Grocery, was built on the main road out of Castlemaine, a major gold mining town. The rear of the building, still intact, is a handsome, two-storey Victorian structure whilst the front was a single storey timber shop. It would seem that this part burned down sometime around 1937 and was replaced by an Art Deco brick structure.
