Newmarket Hotel is a heritage-listed former hotel in Hamilton Hill, Western Australia. Located at the corner of Rockingham and Cockburn roads, it was built in 1912, and operated as a hotel until the late 1990s.
The hotel has sometimes been referred to as being in South Fremantle,[1][2] and at other time in Hamilton Hill.[3][4] It was often chosen as a terminus for cycling events,[5] was named as a tram line extension,[6][7] and was a local focal point for the horse racing industry.[8] The hotel was a filming location in the 1991 cult film Black Neon.[9]
Change in lease and management were regular during its operational years.[10] After being vacant for 18 years, it was renovated and reopened in 2017 as Hamilton House, a dance studio for the Swan River Ballet school.[11][12][13][14]
