finding age of hotel/motel location

[mel338]

I used to visit a website that included the year each hotel or motel was

built in the description. I can no longer find it in my Favorites. Is anyone familiar with how to find this information?

thank you, mel

They list the date of the most recent renovation to each hotel which can be pretty useful.

In searching for reviews on a particular hotel, I happened to stumble upon http://travel.yahoo.com/p-hotel-191500002-...2-hotel_guide-i, Yahoo's Hotel Guide. You can search by city, price range, hotel type, and/or hotel name, or browse by continent/country/city. When you click on any hotel name on the "results" page, it will take you to a page full of information about the hotel you've selected. If you scroll down to the section of the page labeled "Property Info," it should list what year the building that houses the hotel was built (I can't guarantee they have this information for every hotel on the planet, but it was listed for all the hotels I spot checked - even one in Monrovia, Liberia :) ). It's important to emphasize that I believe what is listed is the year the building that houses the hotel was built, not the year that the current hotel chain began occupying the building or even the year the building started being used as a hotel. For example, the listing for the Hyatt Regency St. Louis states that it was built in 1894, as it is located in the old Union Station! The hotel actually opened in 1985 along with a shopping mall after a major renovation of the then-unused station.
