I'm not going to repeat any of the items mentioned by the prior reviewer in "A few things to know." Read that -- it's all true! I will add my .02. My sig other and I jumped at the chance to stay at a Lautner designed hotel -- the architecture is the real draw here, all wood, glass and midcentury... More

If you're interested in the Hotel Lautner for the experience of staying in a really cool, restored architectural wonderbox, you won't be disappointed.

The attention to detail and the furniture is amazing. It really feels as if we went back in time but with today's modern conveniences. Everything... More

If you'd like to know what it is like to live in a mid-century modern building that is of historical importance, this is the place for you. We've stayed in an Ando museum/hotel on Naoshima Island, as well as the Frank Lloyd Wright Price Tower, and this experience was actually the best! The building has been fully remodeled with approval... More
