The Third Tauranga Hotel, 1937-1977 (Place)

SummaryBuilt on the site of the Second Tauranga Hotel (1872-1936) after it burnt down, the Third Tauranga Hotel was the Art Deco successor. It was a two-storey plaster-finished building with rounded corners, decorative banding, and a small central first-floor balcony. It was fitted with mahogany panelling and formal dining facilities, and it resumed the site’s long-established role as one of Tauranga’s main accommodation and hospitality venues, hosting travellers, long-term guests, and civic and commercial functions.

In 1977 the Tauranga Hotel name was dropped when the premises became the Grumpy Mole. The building remained on the site until June 2013, when it was demolished for redevelopment.SourcesArabin, Shirley "Tauranga Hotel - The Final Chapter" in Tauranga Historical Society Blog Friday, 27 June 2014:
