Waldorf Hotel, Vancouver, British Columbia (hotel) - Locating Tiki

See this Tiki Mecca before it's too late!! Check out the events page for a great opportunity this coming July 21st!! Below is an OLD ad from the Waldorf Hotel advertising the Polynesian Room. This add (note the old telephone number) is from 1959 and is rare to see. This will probably be the first time it has ever been documented online. These rooms opened in 1955 so this is one of their first ad's. This ad features the figure from one of Leeteg's famous paintings, The Tahitian Drummer. This velvet painting is still located upstairs in the Tahitian Lounge. The Waldorf used this figure on menu's, matchbooks, stir stix, paper work, cheques, receipts and lots of other printed matter. The later ad's had just the Waldorf Palm Tree exterior sign pictured on it. I will add one of these later. Mahalo, TabooDan Edited to fix picture size. [ Edited by: TabooDan 2009-05-21 21:08 ]
