BARTON’S historic Hotel Kurrajong has gone under the hammer for $7,650,000 today.
The heritage listed, Art Deco style hotel will now trade under the banner of hotel chain “Travelodge,” which the NRMA has a 50 per cent share of.
Constructed during 1925-26, the Kurrajong was designed by the Commonwealth’s Chief Architect, John Smith Murdoch, who also designed Parliament House and the then Hotel Canberra (now the Park Hyatt).
