Part of the commercial building boom in the 1920s, this 11-story hotel was built in 1923. Builder Joseph Ange hired architect Murry S. King to design a million dollar hotel. Considered "the jewel of downtown Orlando", the building included hotel rooms, a rooftop garden, restaurant, pharmacy, bookstore and other businesses. WLOF, Orlando's second radio station, was located on the mezzanine floor.
