Sydney’s iconic art deco Hollywood Hotel is on the market for the first time in 42 years by the estate of the former owner, who was famously one of only a handful of female publicans.

The late Doris Goddard was a notable actress and cabaret singer, who was also one of the most active and fierce protesters against Sydney’s lockout laws when introduced. She died in July 2019 at 89, just nine months shy of the controversial CBD lockout laws being lifted.

Ms Goddard, who quit the lights of Hollywood to come back home to Australia, bought the four-storey property for $175,000 in 1977. No price was disclosed for the freehold and the business, but similar properties have sold for up to $10 million.
