Based on Hotel Cortez from #americanhorrorstory #ahs #ahshotel #americanhorrorstoryhotel The late James March built the hotel in the 1920s for his peculiar activities. If you wander around the hotel you might find reminiscents of his old hobbies. The hotel is currently owned by his wife the Countess who never seem to age, and have her own peculiar activities. The building is loosely based on the James Oviatt building in L.A. #buildforsemaj #artbuildsforsemaj #ladygaga #hotel #artdeco
