The Pine Beach Hotel, situated in Emu Park Queensland, has a rich history marked by various name changes.

The site was initially occupied by the Brighton Hotel, established in 1871 After undergoing renovations, the hotel was renamed the Blue Bell Hotel in 1879.

Between 1886 and 1888, the hotel was rebuilt and became known as the Grand Hotel However, it was destroyed by fire in 1908.

A palatial house was later built on the site and converted into a hotel and was officially renamed Pine Beach Hotel in 1926, due to the surrounding Norfolk Pine trees.

The hotel's license was suspended during World War II, as the Armed Forces took over the premises The license was renewed in November 1945, and the hotel resumed its operations.

The hotel is located on Granville St, Emu Park Queensland.
