Imperial Hotel
21017-1 Architecture 2013 1188 parts 1.9% repair risk Intermediate
The LEGO Architecture Imperial Hotel (21017-1) recreates Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Tokyo masterpiece, a 1188-piece model reflecting the original 1916-1922 design. This highly detailed build shows the hotel's distinctive shape, famously based on its own monogram logo, an architectural choice that also contributed to its renowned earthquake resistance. The finished model stands over 4 inches (10cm) tall and spans more than 11 inches (28cm) wide, sitting on a display base featuring a printed name label. Co-developed by LEGO architects, it explores advanced building techniques to capture the Western and Eastern influences Wright intended. The set includes a booklet detailing the building's construction and history, acknowledging its legacy as a landmark where only the main entrance and lobby now remain in Japan's Meiji Museum.
