Wikidata records the architecture of 19 hotels as vernacular, in the United States, Belgium, Spain and Brazil and 4 other countries.[1] The earliest to open was Café-restaurant Le Dikenek, in 1741; the most recent, The Cricketers Inn, in 2000. The best known, by the number of Wikipedia language editions with an article on it, is Timberline Lodge.

Method

A hotel is included when Wikidata gives “vernacular architecture” 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]

Hotels

In order of opening; those without a recorded year come last. 10 hotels have none.[1][2]
