Victor Hotel

The tall and thin Victor Hotel was built in 1937. The asymmetrical hotel was one of the first to break away from the traditional Art Deco symmetry.

 

Long horizontal Moderne style windows and extended eyebrows counter the hotel's strong vertical element. The rows of windows end with porthole-like bosses.

 

To the left of the entrance is a massive square column that continues above the roof. It seems to act as a counterbalance to the building.
