The Lucky underwent a major renovation in 2014 to restore the façade and bring the famous hotel back to life. The family owned and operated hotel now boasts 28 boutique rooms, bars and American Barbecue restaurant and is winning the hearts of locals and visitors to Newcastle.

Checking in at The Lucky’s dedicated front desk adorned with antique suitcases creates a great sense of arrival. Reception is open Monday-Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 10am-3pm and Sunday 10am-1pm with Management onsite 24 hours for your safety and security and after hours checkin available by prior arrangement.

Each of The Lucky’s boutique hotel rooms is unique, featuring modern furnishings, ensuite bathrooms, luxury bedding and premium L’Occitane amenities. The Lucky blends the old with the new in perfect harmony with charming finds such as antique bottles adorning the wall in the hallway, found during the renovation.

Downstairs the main bar is welcoming with exposed brick and a drum kit chandelier, a nod to its rock heritage. Meander through the bar and you’ll find quiet corners to sit and relax with a craft beer or regional wine. The courtyard with spectacular vertical garden is where you’ll find Newcastle’s first authentic Southern American Barbecue restaurant with house-smoked delicacies. The space is also ideal for weddings and functions.
