The Royal Hotel, a historic corner pub in Clifton Hill, is being listed for sale, according to reports from multiple outlets. The listing follows the owners’ unsuccessful bid to redevelop the site about three years earlier. In that failed proposal, the owners sought approval to build a five-storey apartment development over the historic hotel at the corner location. The coverage notes that the development attempt did not proceed after the bid was lost, and the subsequent decision is now to put the pub on the market. The reports do not indicate that any new development proposal has been submitted, focusing instead on the timing between the failed apartment plan and the current sale. The Royal Hotel’s heritage status and location are cited as central features of the property involved in the attempted redevelopment. Overall, the articles agree that the current sale is connected to the earlier planning outcome and represents a change in direction from redevelopment to selling the property.
