Ex Hotel Palace, Art Nouveau hotel building in Iquitos, Peru.
The three-story Ex Hotel Palace displays wrought iron balconies with plant shapes, intricate metalwork, and tall portals along Malecón Tarapacá.
Engineer Samuel Young Mass and architect José Altamira y Motta constructed this luxury hotel between 1908 and 1912 during the Amazon rubber trade period.
The building incorporates tiles from Malaga and architectural elements that were transported across the Atlantic Ocean, reflecting early 20th-century Peruvian design.
The Ex Hotel Palace now functions as the office of the Fifth Military Region of Peru, located one block from the Plaza de Armas.
The structure appeared on a commemorative 1 Sol coin in 2014 as a symbol representing the Loreto Region in the series 'Wealth and Pride of Peru.'
