The hotel industry has a rich and diverse history, captured through captivating photographs and lithographs that showcase its evolution over time. From the charming Cruden Bay Hotel in black and white, to the vibrant Swedish Tourism advertisement of 1938, these images transport us back to different eras. In one image, we witness the chaos of a fire breaking out at night in an Atlanta hotel, reminding us of the challenges faced by this industry. Contrastingly, an engraving from ca. 1840 depicts The Hospice - a place where weary travelers found respite during their journeys. Moving on to more contemporary scenes, we glimpse into the past with black and white photos capturing Manhattan's College Of The City Of New York or the bustling corner of 55th Street and 5th Avenue. These snapshots provide glimpses into daily life within this thriving metropolis. As our journey continues through Manhattan's streets via rooftop views from Hotel Gotham or Park Avenue and 53rd Street corners, we are reminded of how hotels serve as gateways for exploration and discovery. Venturing beyond American borders, a black and white photo takes us to Switzerland's Klausen Pass Hotel - nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Meanwhile, a lithograph showcases London's Hyde Park Hotel adorned for Christmas festivities - highlighting how hotels also play host to joyous celebrations. Finally, we are drawn back to Manhattan with another striking black-and-white image showcasing the grandeur of New York Grand Central Building's south facade. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to both progress and elegance within the hotel industry. From fires that test resilience to moments filled with merriment; from historic hospices offering solace to modern skyscrapers shaping cityscapes – these images encapsulate various facets of an ever-evolving hotel industry that has shaped countless experiences throughout history.
