01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Hotel Royal Oak began life as a motor inn in 1954 and was renovated into a boutique hotel after a change of ownership in the mid-2010s. It describes itself as an inclusive, gay-owned hotel, and Pride Source profiled it in 2021. Its patio hosts queer events: on July 26, 2026, it was the venue for Pride Royal Oak's official Sunday Tea Dance.
