Napier Art Deco Venue Needs Vision Provincial Hotel For Sale

Business description

The Hotel was built in 1932 by builders Holder Bros. at a cost of 6700 pounds. It's a single story reinforced concrete building by the Architects Finch and Westerholm.

In 1932 he became partners with H A Westerholm, who often designed in the Spanish Mission style. A prolific architect until he departed for Australia in 1936. His designs include the Provincial Hotel, the State Cinema, the Shakespeare Inn, Bennetts Building and Sainsbury Logan & Williams

The building contains four - that's right FOUR bars. Only one bar is currently leased, so there is scope to really do something special with these premises.

This building needs someone with imagination and vision - there is a lot of space to create something special here.
