Hacienda Hotel History

When the war ended it became The Hospital of Veteran’s Affairs and late was the University of Miami’s Medical School where they stored cadavers of the dead homeless on the lower floors. In 1987 the hotel opened up once again as a deluxe hotel but shut down once more in 1990. It was once again thoroughly renovated and as a result became the top hotel for Hollywood stars, politicians and the elite catering to such people as Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton and Robert

During my return trip to downtown Tucson I visited my favorite place and the one which I felt held the most power. The Cadence apartment gives anyone who enters it the feel of a five-star hotel. The apartments gave the ambience of upper class with its constant cleaning crew working to keep it in prestige condition and multiple amenities only the nicest and most powerful of places would possess. When entering, you are welcomed to a long all white hallway with multiple fireplaces and flat screen televisions. The all white building gives the impression of a sleek and clean upper class building. After continuing down the hall, you are greeted by a fully equipped gym and a large pool and hot tub. Overall, with grand sweeping hallways, five star amenities, and classy atmosphere, The Cadence possesses much of the attributions that lead a building to be architecturally powerful.

If you have ever been to Philly, you have probably passed it at one time—an old abandoned building, which at one time was the center of Philadelphia attention. I have travelled through Philadelphia many times and have passed this impressive Victorian style building. Despite its abandoned and rundown appearance, I have always said that this building had so much beauty and potential. The outside of the building has intricate arching and architecture, and has eye-catching brick and stone detailing. Driving down Broad Street, going from North Philly towards the center of downtown, my eyes always drifted to the left to stare at this building—a structure somewhat resembling the “Tower of Terror” from Disney World. After passing this building various times, my mind began to question if this building was at one time a well-kept and prosperous place. As I passed this building once more, I took note of the rickety sign that sits on top of the building that reads “Divine Lorraine Hotel”. I began research on the hotel and had never envisioned the history which stands behind that old desolate building. At one time, the Divine Lorraine Hotel was the place to live in Philadelphia. Broad Street was a populated and flourishing area in the city. So what is the history behind this building and what ever happened to the Divine Lorraine Hotel? The hotel of striking architecture, through years of history, fell to shambles after being one of the most successful hotels in Philadelphia.

We tried to remain imperturbable, but we were overwhelmed with all the glorious architectures, festivities, and traditions of San Jose, Costa Rica. Later, we arrived to the periphery part of the city, where are new, utilitarian abode for the week awaited.

In 1930 till 1934 the hotel was turned into a junior college. Due to the great depression the college would ultimately close. In 1937 the most infamous owner of the hotel purchased it. Norman Baker, he bought the hotel and turned it into a cancer hospital and offered patients “miracle cures” to heal their cancers. Baker claimed he was a doctor. Baker was no doctor, and the cure he possessed was not actual medicine. The entire operation was a huge ruse to get money from dying, desperate people. None of the patients died from his false medicine but many died from the lack of actual treatments. Baker stole about $4,000,000 from unsuspected patients that would never get cured.

Rd 145 soon became an integral part of everyday life in Birdseye, Indiana. Home to multiple general stores, a variety of hometown restaurants,and a hall for the Modern Woodmen of America (Huff 1), this edifice served as a gathering place for all residents, past and present, throughout its 123 year lifetime. Now nearing the end of its lifecycle once again, this unique building awaits the chance to undergo an extensive restoration to reveal its former grandeur, because as Helmut Jahn once said, “Every building is a prototype. No two are alike,” (Demakis 12). Preserving this crumbling Italianate gem will not only provide a cultural hotspot for the town of Birdseye; it will give residents the opportunity to learn about the structure’s illustrious past and the history of the town itself while also telling the stories of many past residents and the challenges they

This place began as the Windsorlorrine Hotel around 1925 and was later known as the Marquette Hotel. In 1945, Walter Bailey purchased it and renamed it for his wife Loree. During the era of segregation, Walter Bailey ran the motel as an upscale lodging place that served black clients. He added a 2nd floor. He added a swimming pool. He also added a access for more room on the south side of the complex. He then changed the name from Hotel to Motel. There were many famous musicians who stayed at that hotel. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Room 306, so he took out room 306 and 307 from being used. He turned those two room into a memorial to the leader. Hours after the assassination, Bailey’s wife had a stroke and died 5 days later.

one man took this great opportunity to Tampa. Henry B. Plant expanded his popular Plant System of Railroads to south Florida to be able to import and export more goods through the vast ports of the region and make more commerce with the neighboring island of Cuba. In 1888 Tampa Bay Hotel was built to house the quickly growing winter visitors, a project that cost a whopping 3 million dollars at the time. The architecture of the hotel is a very interesting form of Renaissance. Gothic style arches impacted by the Italian architecture styles; something extremely impending in the consistency of the campus’

There was a time Laredo’s sister city was very dangerous to be at or even near because of the surprise shootings that sometimes occurred even across countries. This mall, in present time, is still standing but not in use. There are rumors of getting it running again. There have also been leaked blue prints of the remodeling it will undergo as well as the rebuilding of the whole downtown area. Laredo’s downtown area is not one like Austin’s or San Antonio’s. It’s different and not very appealing. Slowly, the area is starting to gain its’ people

The building had survived for decades without any incident; except for some minor renovations, it was the same structure that had existed since1946. It was a nightclub named Julio's in the 1970s, and in 1972 the building was

Alpena, a ‘warm and friendly port’. That motto could almost make you think that Alpena is something out of the 1950s: Everybody knows one another, smiles all around, and constantly nice weather. But in reality, our city is nothing like that. If we had the opportunity to change our city to something more… warm and friendly… what could be done?

The Portman Hotel was built with the intent of being a 5 star hotel that provided superior service to its guests. This superior service centered around a business plan that was based on Asian standards of hospitality.
