WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – The Hutchinson City Council will discuss condemning a closed hotel on Tuesday.
The building is the Atrium Hotel , 1400 N. Lorraine, which closed in 2019. In recent years, the hotel has been boarded up and covered with graffiti. The city says it has mold and hasn’t had running water in five years.
