Aztec Hotel
The Aztec Hotel is a historical landmark building in Monrovia, in the San Gabriel Valley, California. The Hotel is one of the outstanding examples of Mayan Revival architecture still in existence. It was designed by architect Robert Stacy-Judd, and built on the legendary original U.S. Route 66 in 1924. Closed for renovations in 2012, there is little prospect of the hotel reopening until 2015 or later.〔(Historic Aztec Hotel in Monrovia could reopen in 2015 )〕
==History==
This was Stacy-Judd's first commissioned job in the United States. He had designed theaters with an Egyptian theme in England. Robert Stacy-Judd focused on designing the facades and furniture, incorporated abstract patterns that were loosely inspired by Maya hieroglyphs. The revivalist style was popular during the 1920s–30s, an abstraction from Maya architecture sources with art deco and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture influences. Besides the beautiful lobby, banquet room and adjoining patio, the Aztec houses the Mayan Bar and Grill (Brass Elephant).〔(Flickr:Aztec Hotel gallery. ) accessed 4/11/2010.〕
Some of his other notable Southern California commissions include the First Baptist Church, (Ventura), the Masonic Temple (North Hollywood, California), the Philosophical Research Society, (Los Feliz) and the Atwater Bungalows, (Elysian Park).
The hotel was featured in the 2009 romantic comedy ''Spooner''. Scenes were filmed in front of the hotel as well as many interior scenes showing the lobby, bar, hallways and inside one of the rooms.
