Grand Hotels In Your City
In this thread please post architecturally amazing hotels in your city, town and or country. I’ll start with some examples from Canada.
The Royal York in Toronto https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...otel+-+Toronto Art Deco Style https://media.expedia.com/hotels/100...17289_61_z.jpg Redtag.ca The Fogo Island Inn in Newfoundland https://i.cbc.ca/1.2826185.150566833...island-inn.JPG CBC And last but definitely not least, the Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta https://271xf1284tbt2lxdg841m2ea-wpe...0fee413e5c.jpg Banff Adventures |
Fairmont Royal York's Chateauesque style would fit under the Beaux Arts umbrella, not so much Art Deco... although the eastern expansion was constructed during the end of the Art Deco era.

Canada's railroad hotels, especially the chateau-style ones, are amazing. I wish Windsor had one. For Detroit, I'd say the Book-Cadillac is probably the grandest of the hotels in the city that were built as hotels. When completed, it was the tallest hotel in the world. It was reopened in 2008 following extensive renovations after being abandoned 24 years. Today it has 455 hotel rooms and 67 prestigious condominiums on the upper floors. https://storage.googleapis.com/histo.../1043/bc-3.jpg Source https://www.emporis.com/images/show/...r-exterior.jpg Source Grand Ballroom before renovation: http://forgottendetroit.com/caddy/images/bc-20.jpg Source Grand Ballroom after renovation: https://weddingspot-prod-s3-1.s3.ama...81bd3a21fa.jpg Source |
