Alliance To Build High-Rise Hotel
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 15. The New Zealand Alliance plans to build a 200-bed unlicensed hotel on the Terrace, in central Wellington, it announced today.
The Alliance Educational Trust bought a block on the Terrace in 1965. The Ambassador Hotel, leased by the trust to its former owner, Mr A. McKibbin, covers part of the block. The chairman of the trust, Mr H. W. Millner, said today that the trust would build a high-class modern non-
licensed hotel of 200 to 250 beds, according to the finance available. It could be 10 to 12 storeys. Mr Millner said similar hotels had been successful in Australia and he expected that the trust would be able to raise the money. He hoped the building could be started in 18 months and completed in three years.
