The former Wyndham Hotel in New Kingston is to be sold by public auction in August.

The sale is being carried out under the powers of sale contained in a mortgage related to the property that’s located at 77 Knutsford Boulevard.

According to an advertisement in one of the local daily newspapers yesterday, Allison Pitter and Company has been retained by the receiver of Ocean Chimo Limited to assist in the sale of the property.

The hotel, which was also operated under the Hylton brand for a number of years, was the only internationally branded hotel in Kingston.

The 303-room multi-storey hotel complex also includes a shopping arcade with ten clusters at the corner of Knutsford Boulevard and Trinidad Terrace.

In March, last year, a large fire at the hotel caused extensive damage to several sections of the building.

The property has been closed since.
