Architecture Joel Ross
architecture from the 1950s influenced by the Space Race imagery and car culture and captured by such elements as an asymmetrical awning and neon “motel” sign. The concrete parking lot here—a defining feature of any motel—has been converted into a tropical courtyard that takes guests to out-of-the-way niches. Overall, the hotel’s structural form plays a pivotal role in the guiding Beat-era concept.
