Hotel Marcel, Brutalist hotel in Long Wharf, New Haven, United States.
The Marcel Hotel occupies a seven-story concrete structure with a distinctive pre-cast facade and geometric forms near New Haven Harbor.
The building, completed in 1970 as Armstrong Rubber Company headquarters, underwent renovation in 2020 to become a hotel while maintaining its original architecture.
Marcel Breuer, a leader of the modernist movement, incorporated Bauhaus design principles into the concrete structure, making it a reference for architectural studies.
The 165-room establishment features conference spaces, a restaurant, and a bar while operating entirely on renewable energy through rooftop solar panels.
The structure functions as a net-zero energy hotel, generating and managing all necessary power for its operations through an independent electrical grid system.
