World’s Ugliest Building?

Posted on Mon, 13th December 2004 at 02:25 under Travel, Australia

My vote goes to the Holiday Inn, Townsville, Queensland. Can’t tell which building it is from the official photograph? It’s the cylindrical one with the cigarette butt sticking out the top. And, believe me, it looks much worse in real-life. For a start, it’s murky brown edged with murky green. Secondly, it is totally out of character with the rest of the town.

Hmmm… I can’t seem to find all that many pictures. Perhaps I’ll have to take a few and upload them.

    Aaah, the old sugar shaker! I used to work for the company that owned this place - I never had the dubious pleasure of staying there though… Hasn’t changed a bit in the 14 years or so that I’ve known it - and it certainly ranks as one of the ugliest!!

    Your hair is going very blonde young man!
