==Postmodern design==
The hotel and its architect John Portman have been the subject of documentaries and academic analysis.
In his book ''Postmodern Geographies: The Reassertion of Space in Critical Social Theory'' (1989), Edward Soja describes the hotel as
a concentrated representation of the restructured spatiality of the late capitalist city: fragmented and fragmenting, homogeneous and homogenizing, divertingly packaged yet curiously incomprehensible, seemingly open in presenting itself to view but constantly pressing to enclose, to compartmentalize, to circumscribe, to incarcerate. Everything imaginable appears to be available in this micro-urb but real places are difficult to find, its spaces confuse an effective cognitive mapping, its pastiche of superficial reflections bewilder co-ordination and encourage submission instead. Entry by land is forbidding to those who carelessly walk but entrance is nevertheless encouraged at many different levels. Once inside, however, it becomes daunting to get out again without bureaucratic assistance. In so many ways, its architecture recapitulates and reflects the sprawling manufactured spaces of Los Angeles.

Fredric Jameson discusses the hotel in his book ''Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Postmodernism and the Bonaventure Hotel )
