The Fishermans Friend
The Fisherman’s Friend hotel took up the whole west end of the market. The huge four-story rectangle boasted a mural of dancing fish across the full front exterior. Fishermen’s wives had planned and executed the mural without the hotel’s permission, to break up the unnaturally straight lines which made their husbands nauseated and irritable. The hotel called it graffiti, but the judges called it exceptional art and public service. The hotel paid the women for their work.
The square lobby stood within the center of the larger rectangle, but the space was broken up with clusters of tables and chairs in a variety of curved shapes. Spacers hung with tasseled linens provided privacy. Sturdy chairs with high backs, padded benches, stools, and leather bags filled with dried peas congregated in a variety of combinations.
Guest rooms and small meeting spaces are individualized and themed but created with components that are easy to clean and rearrange. Themes include coastal, cottage, rustic, romantic, and lux.
