Hotel Attraction was a proposal by architect Antoni Gaudí for a skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

History

Commissioned in May 1908, it would have been 1,180 feet (360 m) tall; many believed its futuristic design to be unrealistic for its time.[1] Little is known about its origin, and the project remained unknown until 1956, when a report by Joan Matamala i Flotats was published, called "When the New World called Gaudí".[1]

The drawings for the Attraction Hotel were proposed as a basis for the rebuilding of Ground Zero in Manhattan.[2] A modified version of the drawings by Paul Laffoley earned broad media attention. The architect planned to feature a memorial at its base and the Sphere for Plaza Fountain as center of an observation platform at the top of the hotel.[3]

Fiction

The hotel was featured in the Fox Broadcasting television show Fringe. It was featured in the New York City skyline in the alternate universe.[4]
