The Paragon Hotel was built in 1857 during the start of the gold rush. Known as the Bushman’s Home, the Paragon was one of Mudgee’s earliest buildings. Run by publican Issac McKenna, the hotel served various purposes, hosting meetings, court cases, overnight guests and sporting enthusiasts.
In 1866, the building became the Paragon Hotel.
Today, the Paragon Hotel is owned by Mudgee local Steve Harding and long-time publican Scott Still, who are committed to maintaining the building’s rich history, while celebrating its important place in today’s pub scene.
The hotel continues to mark its past, using the Bushman brand on its dining offering, and paying homage to its original owner Ian McKenna with the nearby McKenna Terraces - boutique terrace accommodation.
