Hotel Attraction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hotel Attraction was a proposed project by architect Antoni Gaudí, for a skyscraper in New York City.

The project was commissioned in May 1908. Planned at a total height of 360 metres, it was probably unrealistic for its time. Little is known about its origin, and the project remained unknown until 1956, when a report by Juan Matamala was published, called "When the New World called Gaudí".

The drawings for the Attraction Hotel has been proposed as basis for the rebuilding of the Ground Zero of Manhattan.
