Have a look at the fantastically overwrought 'Crystal Bar' in the Brevoort Hotel from Chicago, Illinois. Circa 1942

The old Poinciana Hotel in Miami Beach blended nicely with all the other art deco establishments, except for the fact that you can see no others. These linen postcards featured fanciful, airbrushed backgrounds that neglected the reality that the hotels were more often cheek to jowl rather than as spaciously pictured.

Don't you love how some places avoided using the word "motel" at all costs? I guess some proprietors thought it had developed a seedier connotation while "hotel" maintained more a measure of status. Vintage postcard for the Surf Auto Hotel in Santa Monica, California. Circa 1941.

Another glorious Art Deco facade on - where else? - Collins Ave and Tenth in Miami Beach, Florida. Postmarked 1952.

The colorful Hotel Elkton sign in Quincy, Illinois.

Aumont Tower sign, Seguin, Texas.

Wonderful vintage linen advertising postcard for the Santa Rita Hotel in Tucson, Arizona. "Landmark in the Desert, famed for its Western Atmosphere and Southern Hospitality. 200 rooms of Luxury and Comfort, Roof Garden, Sun Decks, Health Club, Coffee Shop, Cocktail Lounge, Excellent Cuisine." Nick C. Hall, Mgr. Circa 1948.

Vintage matchbook cover from the Hotel Astor in New York.

Vintage postcard of the landmark Grand View Point Hotel on U.S. 30 through the Pennsylvania hills - circa 1933. I will submit to you that I'm jealous my brother got to see this undeniable roadside classic the summer before it burned. He and a friend went out east on an amusement park road-trip and I stayed behind to chase a couple persistent roof leaks on a place where we all had stuff in storage. Such a deal!
