Robert Stacy-Judd was the leading booster of the Maya revival in Southern California. The British-born architect arrived in Los Angeles in 1922 (via the Midwest and Canada) as a rather undistinguished although prolific practitioner. In California, he discovered pre-Hispanic art, after purchasing John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood’s popular 19th-century travel books documenting Maya ruins. For this project, Stacy-Judd primarily referenced Maya forms (with imagination replacing archaeological fidelity).⠀
⠀
Aztec Hotel is currently undergoing renovations; therefore, the interiors are not accessible, but the remarkably well-preserved facade is. ⠀
