The Queen’s Hotel is the oldest operating hotel in the province of Saskatchewan. Originally it was a two-storey log boarding house that was built in 1883 and later it was used for the Battle River Agricultural Society and doctors' and lawyers' offices from 1885 to 1886.


The building was used officially as a hotel in 1889, and a third storey was added in 1890.


The Queen's Hotel is located at 101 - 25th St.West in Battleford.
