History

In 1971 the Kingsgate Hotel and restaurants opened and the Coca-Cola billboard opened in 1974 underneath the apartments. The hotel was later renamed as Millenium Hotel. In 1981 it was renamed to Hyatt Kingsgate which operated until its closure in 2003 following the 2000 Olympic Games and later on the "oversupply" of hotel rooms. [2] [3]

In 2006 the former Hyatt Kingsgate hotel was redeveloped to apartments and was eventually sold off. [4] The lower levels of the former hotel was converted to a nightclub and a shopping centre in 2008. The shopping centre is known as Kings Cross Centre and featured 28 stores on the ground level and a two-level Coles and Liquorland in the basement level.

On 10 May 2018 Holey Moley opened its flagship mini golf and bar in the former nightclub space underneath the Coca-Cola billboard. [5] [6]
