A fun take on the hotel-door hanger for Montréal based Hôtel Maritime. Featuring the seabird used in the hotel’s logo but with the addition of bucket and night hat on each side, adding a playful touch to accompany the nautical references employed in the copy.
Hôtel Maritime opened in 1963 and offered its guests elegant and luxurious accommodation at a price sensitive budget and with a European touch. In 1983/84 the hotel became independent through new management and underwent a major program of renovation and investment. To reflect these improvements a new identity was developed by Gottschalk+Ash in Montréal.
