Wright’s design was one in a succession of impressive hotels which have occupied the site.
The previous Imperial Hotel was built in 1890 and devastated by fire in 1922.
Wright’s design replaced it, defying at least two earthquakes to open in 1923.

Unfortunately, it was not very comfortable.
It was replaced by another imperial hotel, this time a high rise.
Stroll the halls and imagine yourself as a guest in this legendary hotel.
