Physical Description

The Atrium was designed by Parry and Rosenthal Pty Ltd and is representative of 1970s modern architecture.

History

Stage One consisted of eighty nine rooms, restaurant, indoor pool, laundry and delicatessen and was approved by Council on March 10, 1981. Stage Two was planned to be forty six units for a holiday village, but unfavourable economic conditions curtailed this part of the development. A temporary water slide was proposed, but was refused. This was later changed to become a function centre. The architects originally estimated the cost of the development to be five million dollars. The hotel was completed in 1982.
