Method
A hotel is included when Wikidata gives “Second Empire style” as its architectural style. Labels that differ only by a trailing “architecture” or by capital letters are treated as one style; other related styles have pages of their own. A hotel may have more than one style. Styles recorded for at least 3 hotels have a page. The styles are as recorded and have not been checked against other sources.[1]
