Hotel Attraction

Hotel Attraction was an proposed project by architect Antoni Gaudí, for a sky-scraper in New York.

The project was commisioned 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 propsed as basis for the rebuilding of the Ground Zero of Manhattan.
