Not the most definitive pictures of the old hotel but there are so few. These were taken by Bill Bartlett in 1970 when it was fairly new (when was it built?). I've seen in the past fotos of the hotel in various beach bars but the pictures were brown and weather worn.
A number of years ago a woman offered me fotos of the interior ... the lobby, 'grand staircase' and the restaurant. She only had the physical paper fotos and was going to send them to me to scan ... but she never sent them.
If you didn't know this hotel was destroyed in the 1995 quake due to two large water tanks above the third floor not being supported properly

The beach looks the same. But the construction along the beach certainly has changed.
