Built in 1965, the Lulu Hotel in Silver City is a hospitality mainstay running along one of the city’s main throughways.
With two floors and 74 rooms, the hotel located at 3420 U.S. Route 180 has always a popular inn for travelers between Arizona and Texas. Recently the structure underwent a renovation restoring it to its mid-1960s original design.
That renovation has allowed the Lulu to advertise itself as a “modernized retro-chic motel,” with a brightly colored lobby and rooms. The hotel was formerly known as the Gia Mountain Inn, and before that, the Rodeway Inn.
Listed by the global consulting firm HVS, the Lulu is scheduled for a two-day auction beginning on September 6, with a starting bid of $750,000.
Defined as a Class C building, the Lulu measures around 34,200 square feet.
