Abstract: We present a new exact black hole solution in three dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a single scalar field. This is one of the extended solutions of the BTZ black hole and has in fact

e x t r m {A d S}_{3}

geometries both at the spatial infinity and at the event horizon. An explicit derivation of Virasoro algebras for

e x t r m {C F T}_{2}

at the two boundaries is shown to be possible `{a} la Brown and Henneaux's calculation. If we regard the scalar field as a running coupling in the dual two dimensional field theory, and its flow in the bulk as the "holographic" renormalization group flow, our black hole should interpolate the two

e x t r m {C F T}_{2}

living at the infinity and at the horizon. Following the Hamilton-Jacobi analysis by de Boer, Verlinde and Verlinde, we calculate the central charges

c_{e x t r m U V}

and

c_{e x t r m I R}

for the

e x t r m {C F T}_{2}

on the infinity and the horizon, respectively. We also confirm that the inequality

c_{e x t r m I R} < c_{e x t r m U V}

is satisfied, which is consistent with the Zamolodchikov's c-theorem.
