Centra Auckland Hotel
Extensions
The original 250 room
Centra Hotel was opened in 1989. In 1997 it was a very successful
hotel with an occupancy rate of around 90%. Faced with hosting
such events as the Americas cup and the APEC conference, the
owners were keen to expand. Rather than expand the exsisting
28 storey tower vertically, Holmes explored the idea of extending
across the adjacent 16 storey carpark structure. This alleviated
the need to extend lifts, and the hotel continued to trade almost
undisturbed.
