Prefecture hotel of Guadeloupe
Prefecture hotel of Guadeloupe, Government building in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe
The Prefecture Hotel stands as a prominent Art Deco structure in the center of Basse-Terre, featuring clean lines and functional aesthetics.
Between 1932 and 1935, architect Ali Tur constructed this administrative center as part of the reconstruction efforts following the devastating 1928 Okeechobee hurricane.
The building represents French administrative presence in Guadeloupe, serving both as a governmental office and a symbol of local political evolution.
The Prefecture Hotel opens its doors to visitors during specific heritage days, allowing the public to explore its architectural features and administrative functions.
The structure received its historical monument classification in 1997, marking its transition from a colonial governor residence to a modern administrative headquarters.
