I always liked that specific postcard, for the following reasons:

The Hotel's exterior architecture is classic "Old World" turn-of-the-century style. Yet the two interiors are:

A.) a Mid-century modern room, and B.) a Polynesian-style lounge...

..which altogether is such a telling example of how even classic hotels felt the need to create Tiki lounges as part of "modernizing" their operations: i.e. Tiki Modern!
