to preserve the history of the building and represent the rich history of the town in an appropriate, aesthetic way

After a devastating fire, the John Jacob Astor building was created in the 1920s. The influence of the art deco exterior is captured in wall paper and light fixtures throughout the hotel design. The once pink facade of the building is carried through into the colors shaping the space. From fur trading posts, to fish canneries, Astoria has grit. Cultural influence on materials comes from scandiavian settlers and mutually aims to respect Asian heritage that has not always been revered in the town. Underground tunnels and ghost stories inspired a spookier and moodier palette to the Hotel Astoria. On a lighter note, the building itself was the birthplace of cable television, and the town the setting of the beloved Goonies movie.
