Haunted Hotel?


We see that there are further plans to add to Auckland's accommodation with either a $20 million 170-room, four-star hotel or an upmarket backpackers.

The triangular site on the corner of Pitt and Vincent Streets is highly visual and has a high commuter traffic count being near major motorway on and off ramps, however may be seen to be away from the main city entertainment area.

The landmark site is well known for housing Famous Floras Massage Parlour that closed its doors in 2008 after trading for over 30 years.

The ghost of an client that died on site during what we would imagine was an overenthusiastic back-rub was said to have haunted the massage parlour.

Whatever accommodation business is erected on the site, we would imagine that at least one unsatisfied ghostly fellow may wish to check-in to continue his long term stay.
