Rio de Janeiro – GB – Hotel Gloria

Rio de Janeiro – GB – Hotel Gloria

The hotel you see here was built in 1922 and closed for renovation in 2009.  Things went murky after that, and in 2014 there was a forced sale, but the property is to open again (as of this writing, anyway) in 2016 before the Rio Olympics under the management of Switzerland’s Acron.  Time will tell; we won’t.  The card was mailed in 1972 using a postage meter.  (As irony, it was mailed to Switzerland.)  Grade: 2
