Commercial Blast From The Past - Kon Tiki Hotel Phoenix

[Kahikina]

The Kon Tiki Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona was built in 1961 by the R.L Branaman Construction Company. The hotel had 111 rooms. It was closed in 1993, and eventually torn down in 1997.

They made the most fantastic porte-cochères back then. I wonder if any of the engineers that designed them are still around.

I remember driving past there all the time as a kid. Never had a chance to visit. Finally got my hands on an original mug not too long ago. Interested in finding other pieces from the place. If anyone has any other items, let me know!
