A Fond Farewell as Beenleigh Gears up for faster Rail

The Imperial Hotel in Beenleigh closed it's doors for the last time on 5 September 2025 after 139 years, making way for the Queensland Government’s Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project. While it marks the end of a beloved local icon, the closure paves the way for modern infrastructure that will double tracks, upgrade stations, and improve safety, accessibility, and travel times ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Staff will be redeployed to other venues, and the community farewelled the hotel with a huge celebration.
