Idea Book 238-0 Town Plan : Hotel

The LEGO hotel depicted in the image is a charming, vintage-style structure inspired by the designs from the LEGO System Idea Book no. 1 (238-0), published in 1960. This model reflects the aesthetic of early LEGO town sets, characterized by its simple yet iconic design.

The hotel features a two-story rectangular building with a white exterior and a vibrant red, sloped roof, a hallmark of LEGO’s classic architectural style from the 1960s. The roof has a stepped, gabled design, with small white chimney elements at each end, adding a touch of detail. The facade is adorned with large, transparent windows framed in red, giving the building a bright and welcoming appearance. These windows span both floors, suggesting spacious interiors, possibly a lobby on the ground floor and guest rooms above.
