Our Story
Under new Management.

Under new Management.

THE HOTEL

The Black Cat Hotel first opened its doors at The Palace Theater in 2025 - and quickly became one of our favourite ways to spend October. So, naturally, we brought it back.

THE HANDOVER

This year, the Hotel returns completely reimagined. New rooms, new story, and new owners who’ve changed rather more than the stationery.

SINCE THEN

Fewer mirrors, more bats, and no daytime appointments. We’d be delighted to show you around - preferably after dark and before anyone gets peckish.
