<strong>QHA</strong> REVIEW | 34<br />
The Caxton has indeed found particular notoriety in<br />
recent history with State of Origin matches, providing<br />
fans of the sport with a party atmosphere in the true<br />
Queenslander spirit. The venue is as famous as ever for<br />
being recognised as the place to be on Origin night.<br />
Kath said their hotel is unashamedly very connected to<br />
the local community with sponsorships of local rugby<br />
league, rugby union and touch rugby league teams.<br />
“We are also very proud of our support for the local<br />
music industry, as we feature many multicultural events<br />
such as Seafood Festival, Brazilian Carnival and our<br />
Craft Park Parties.<br />
“The hotel is upgraded regularly in terms of furnishings<br />
and paintings, however to accommodate more<br />
community events we are currently undergoing major<br />
renovations to our number one function area – The<br />
Haunt.<br />
“The carpark is also undergoing extensive refurbishment<br />
as we use this area as a temporary beer Garden on<br />
Suncorp Stadium event days. This area is extremely<br />
popular with all of the football supporters,” she said.<br />
With such a rich history steeped in sporting passion<br />
and grand final celebrations, the hotel will surely be<br />
there for every kick-off in the years to come. Kathy<br />
said the owners are very proud of the legacy that is<br />
The Caxton Hotel, and over the years they have done<br />
nothing but improve its reputation as Queensland’s<br />
leading sports hotel.<br />
“This is all the more incredible when you consider that<br />
the two brothers are always 100% correct, yet never<br />
agree on anything. The Farquhars very much appreciate<br />
the wonderful contribution made by their incredible<br />
staff,” she said.
