The Penguin Hotel, designed by Henry Hohauser, is a shining example of 1940's Late Art Deco style, which suggests the upcoming International Style of the fifties and sixties. The building was designed and built in 1948. The original name of the building was The Golden Dawn Hotel. Horizontality is prominent in this building with overhanging strip windows and a horizontal railing in the Front Porch. A twin brother of the Penguin Hotel building still exists on Ocean Drive and 8th Street: the current Pelican Hotel. Unlike the Penguin Hotel, however, The Pelican Hotel has been substantially altered during renovation.
In 2006, the 44-room beachfront hotel was fully renovated by a French designer. “Ocean Front” and “Ocean Corner” rooms in The Penguin Hotel feature panoramic strip windows with breathtaking ocean views, and plenty of light and sunshine.
