Architecture wonks, rejoice! Two years and $18 million later,Frank Lloyd Wright's last standing hotel completed a major facelift and reopenedin Mason City, Iowa, yesterday.

After hanging in a state of precarious decline for the past30 years, the renewed Historic Park Inn Hotel emerges with plenty for Wright fans to marvel at: hisoriginal art-glass skylights in the lobby, reproductions of furniture found inhis other properties, a restored multi-colored terra-cotta façade, and afreshly repaired roof with its characteristically Prairie School hanging eaves.The hotel features 27 guest suites, a bar, a restaurant, and an 8,000-square-foot conference room.

The Park Inn is the last surviving of Wright's six hotels (Tokyo'sImperial Hotel was demolished in 1968). Its construction was completed in 1910,and at the time it was considered an elegant, upscale facility. It closed in1972 when it was no longer able to compete with other local hotels and fellinto a downward slope, going on to serve stints as apartments, offices, and even a stripclub, and at its lowest point, it found itself on the digital auction block. MasonCity Council put the hotel on eBay for a mere $10 million.

For Wright enthusiasts around the world, a flight to Iowa may be well worththe trip — while buying a Wright probably isn't an option, you can alwayssettle for the chance to spend a night in one.
