The Commercial Hotel is a hotel at 80 High Street in Fremantle, Western Australia. [1] The current building is of three storeys in the Federation Free Classic style, and was registered on the Register of the National Estate in 1978. [2] It is now the Sundancers Backpackers Hostel.
In 1840 Captain John Thomas built the Southern Cross Hotel, and his wife managed it while he was away at sea. [1] It was later renamed the Albert Hotel [2] and then later the Commercial Hotel.
In 1891 the publican of the Commercial Hotel was E. Jonas. [3]
The hotel was re-built in 1908, [1] and possibly renovated the same year. [4] At this time, a number of other old buildings in nearby lots were being demolished — a newspaper of 1907 reports that:
Fremantle's "rat castles" and microbe homes are gradually coming down. Some have already been erased, and the "rodents' resort" next the Commercial Hotel is in course of demolition. [5]
In about 2000 the hotel was converted into the Sun Dancer Resort backpackers' hostel. [2]
