The Contemporary Resort Hotel (US Steel Commercial)

[thorphin]

There's a really odd nervous energy in this commercial. The narrator's voice makes me want to panic!

They need to renovate the Contemporary and make it 70's again!

It's funny that they think off-site made rooms would be done all over the world because a few years later after the Contemporary started to settle and twist. This made it impossible to remove the rooms without making the whole structure collapse.

Oops. LOL

@flaschdansser This is a myth. The rooms were never intended to be removed. When the building was constructed and the rooms were slid into place, the frame was simply steel. After the rooms were in place, the concrete was framed and poured for the thirteen 150-foot tall A-frames. A Contemporary Classic by Chuck Mirarchi

Great video, the music and singing are so very '70s. Almost like a time capsule. The decor in the rooms was screamingly early 70s as well. Interesting, how the commercial says that US Steel owned the hotels. They did, but for only brief time until Disney bought them out of their ownership. Thanks for posting.
