Hotel Le Germain

[casil403]

Calgary's newest upscale hotel.... I was given a private tour of the hotel by security...very friendly people who are proud of where they work.
I got to see the banquet areas, lounge restaurant and one of the rooms which is like no hotel room I've ever seen before! Impeccable.
I love the architecture of it also....real Spanish wood on the outside of the hotel mixed with steel...so works for me.

Nice perspective, I wonder what it would look like in B&W. Just a thought you are free to ignore lol.

Thanks AL...I have started doing 2 versions of shots now one in colour and a BW version so I have it in BW ready...I actually prefer the BW in both of these.... the hotel shot and the hotel stairs as well.

I like the color version but am really liking the B/W of the same shot...Well done Casil. Awesome you got a tour also

[casil403]

Thanks MAW...I like it also.

I like both but lean toward the B&W but thats only my bias for B&W probably but they both work very well.

I am leaning to the B&W myself as well. I like how the simplified palette leads to considering the architectural elements.

Thanks AL and B.

I just want to see the B/W the same size as the color version. I see very few shots that I'd buy online but I think this one would be one I'd consider

Wow...that is a high compliment MAW....thanks so much!

Here's the hotel BW enlarged:
