Star of the hit Australian movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, this huge and ageing icon won't be to everyone's taste, but a stay here is one of the outback's most idiosyncratic sleeping experiences. Newer rooms have balcony access and en suites, but most are proudly retro. For the full experience, try the Priscilla Suite (from $225).
Painted in the 1970s by local artist Gordon Waye, the murals in the public areas have been described as 'Italian Renaissance meets outback' and are quite simply extraordinary.
