Created by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 23:18, 9 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gilpatrick Hotel; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

... New enough, long enough, QPQ provided. Approving proposed hook as is in the article and followed by a citation to a reference containing hook fact. For alt1, suggest making "only open for 25 years" clearer, though first hook is good. No copyvio issues. Image clear and free. Overall, easy to read and interesting. Thank you.
