Big hotel for Queenstown
By
LES BLOXHAM
travel editor Queenstown will have yet another multi-million hotel — the fourth big project to have been announced over the last few months. Plans were revealed yesterday for a $4O million, 200-room complex close to the centre of the town. It will be developed by the Argus Corporation of Auckland and the Southern Pacific Hotel Corporation. The yet-to-be-named hotel will include a convention centre for 200 people, restaurants, bars, Y
health club, sauna, and indoor swimming pool. The 1.5 acre site is bounded by Stanley, Beetham, and Melbourne streets. Mr Tim Stableforth, regional director of the Southern Pacific Hotel Corporation, said plans for the new hotel showed the corporation’s longterm commitment to the Queenstown area. Construction is expected to begin about the middle of next year. The hotel should be ready to receive guests in 1989. Financing of the project should be completed in the next few weeks.
