MARYLAND: MOTELS & HOTELS

Sea Bay Hotel
Ocean City, MD
This Sea Bay Hotel building was previously known as the Bay Sails Inn. Its slanted façade gives the building a hip-modern look while functioning as sunshade. Ocean City is a popular warm weather town and this hotel faces the sun and beach. The hotel's trapezoidal shape somewhat resembles I.M. Pei's City Hall in Dallas, TX built in 1978. However, my guess is that the Bay Sails was built earlier.

Flamingo Motel
Ocean City, MD
The Flamingo Motel opened in 1963. For more, see their website.

Eden Roc Motel
Ocean City, MD
Relax Inn
Baltimore, MD
The Eden Roc Motel appears to be from the 1960s. For more, see this website.

The Relax Inn was previously known as the Townhouse Motel and the Town & Country Motel. It features a great, huge double canopy and other apparently 1960s details.
