The public auction conducted by real estate agents Ray White Hotels was held in King Street, Sydney this morning.
The historic venue was purchased for $3.125 million
Two would-be buyers placed bids at the auction.
The bidding started at $1.8 million under the hammer of auctioneer Jason Andrews
The bidding picked up pace after hitting $2.4 million before two parties placed bids.
The inn has been closed since last June when floods extensively damaged the hotel.
