Hotel Impérial

Hello! Bonjour! Willkommen! Welcome to Hotel Impérial. Built in 1933, Hotel Impérial is the finest undersea hotel on the globe. Built after the Secession Of The Wealthy, Hotel Impérial has all the amenities any fashionable surface hotel would have, plus the class and style of the Secessionists. The hotel has a grand entrance and lobby, two restaurants, the Cairo Room; a small casino based upon Arabian and North African adventures, Four Deluxe Rooms, and One Grande Suite.

 

This project was an adventure in design and architecture for myself. I've always loved the idealism of the rich elite during the 30's and wanted to build a MOC based entirely around the pure Art Deco styling from the era. I spent about 6 weeks researching styles and sorting true Art Deco from Streamline Moderne, and other styles of the era. I'm pretty happy with what I did in the end. Although I'm sure there are some anachronisms design-wise in the structure, I feel I was able to make it as purely art deco as possible.
