Royal Hotel
Pub stay by Springwood Station with a wine bar
About this stay
The wine and whisky bar sets a slightly more grown-up tone here than the average pub stay, paired with an on-site restaurant and cafe covering Italian and tapas options for an evening without extra driving. Free parking and Wi-Fi keep the basics simple, and the one-minute walk to Springwood Station gives train access toward Sydney for anyone not wanting to drive the whole way. The Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum sits a short taxi or public transport ride away, a workable half-day stop for couples pairing culture with the drive. It suits travellers wanting a slightly more considered pub stay than the standard sports-bar format found elsewhere nearby, with a tone that leans quieter and more grown-up than the average roadside pub.

Our take
This suits couples wanting a pub stay with a bit more polish, thanks to the wine and whisky bar and the multiple dining options on site. The train station access is a genuine plus for anyone splitting the trip between driving and rail. Families wanting a playground or kid-focused facilities should look toward the more family-oriented properties in central Penrith instead.
- ✓Try the wine and whisky bar for a more considered evening than the average pub stop.
- ✓Use Springwood Station if part of the trip suits rail over driving.
- ✓Book the Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum ahead if a cultural stop is part of the plan.

Why guests love itRoyal Hotel is a three-star pub stay near Macquarie Road and Springwood Station, with a restaurant, a cafe and a wine and whisky bar. Free parking and Wi-Fi are included, and the Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum is a short drive for a cultural stop. It is a pub, so expect a social setting. An 8.2 score from 545 reviews is good, and I would choose it for couples who like a bar downstairs.
