The Imperial Hotel was demolished in 1968.

Built from 1917 through 1923, The Imperial Hotel was a testament to Wright’s enduring appreciation of Japanese art and culture. The architect wrote that his design reflected neither American nor Japanese architecture, rather it was, “an architect’s sincere tribute to a unique nation, a building that respects Oriental tradition, at the same time that it keeps its own individuality as a sympathetic friend on Japanese soil.”
