Hotel Luggage Labels
Posted by Miroslav under: Hotels .
If, like me, you are a fan of the hotel luggage labels that adorned peoples suit cases in a time when travel meant taking a journey and not just the quickest way to get from one place to another, then you will probably like this site i ran across recently that contains a pretty decent collection of those great labels.
The English content on the page has obviously been machine translated from Italian so it makes the reading a little bit amusing.
Here are a few of my favourites from the site that i would love to have on my luggage…my selection is not based on design…but on places that would have been amazing to visit in the era of luggage labels.
Note: If i could find a website for the hotel, i’ve added a link to its name.
Hotel la Pace - Pisa, Italy
Hotel Marconi - Venezia, Italy
Hotel Pension Maurice - Napoli, Italy
Not to sure that i’d be staying at a hotel that had a smoking volcano on its label though…
Grand Hotel Kronenhof-Bellavista - Pontresina, Switzerland
Hotel Royal Palm - Havana, Cuba
Peninsula Hotel - Kowloon, Hong Kong
Claridge’s Hotel - New Delhi, India
Hotel Waldorf - Hanoi, Vietnam
There is a huge set of luggage labels over at the “Art of the Luggage Label” on Flickr as well.
And you can always wander over to eBay and see what they have listed under hotel luggage label and hotel labels as well ;)
