Casa Marina Hotel (Key West, Florida)
Card mailed in 1986, with two heavily postmarked stamps but the mark itself is partly missing. Postmark smudging on front, and card is aging beyond its years. Grade: 4

Code: 30900045
Price: $2.50
Hotel Manzur (Cordoba, Mexico)
Have you stayed here before? Neither have we. Unused card, Grade: 1

Code: 30900046
Price: $4.50
Riverside Hotel (Guangzhou, China)
Twelve of these unused cards are available, straight from the Riverside Hotel that issued them. Eleven are as-new (Grade: 1, $3) while the other just looks a bit as though it was plucked from a bin (Grade: 2, $2).

Code: 30900047
Price: $3.00
New World Harbour View Hotel (Hong Kong)
Need a few lines to describe this. It’s 5″ x 10″ and was mailed in 1997. It did not survive the mailing unscathed. Front has a half-inch abrasion in pool area. Reverse has six stamps and two mostly legible postmarks, and a blue airmail sticker that has been obscured by another white sticker with a postal bar code. And FYI, the hotel has changed its name since then. Grade: 4

Code: 30900048
Price: $4.50
Hilton (Nairobi)
Comic card mailed in the mid-1980s, with intact commemorative stamp and additional airmail sticker affixed. Postmark is only partly legible. Grade: 3

Code: 30900049
Price: $6.50
Hotel Ritz (Lisbon)
Well, we just happened to have this, and it is a postcard, and this is not globalpicturepostcards dot com, so here it is if you want it. Unused, but mottling just a bit. Grade: 2

Code: 30900050
Price: $2.00
Hotel Miramar (Hong Kong)
This hotel is a survivor. Card is probably from 1970s or 1980s, unused. Grade: 1

Code: 30900051
Price: $3.50
Strawberry Park Resort (Malaysia)
Popular cool-climate resort in a warm country. Card mailed in 1995, with Perak stamp and almost-full postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 30900052
Price: $5.00
bam’bu (Perth, Australia)
Technically this is not a postcard because it is fully printed on both sides with no room for a message or adddress. But it is the right shape and size and attractive enough as an ad that we include it anyway. From 2007. Grade: 1

Code: 30900053
Price: $3.00
TraveLodge (Williams, Arizona USA)
Card from the 1960s, phone numbers had three digits, and it may just have been possible to drive right up and get a room. Two unmailed cards are available, Petley S11387-2, as-new. Grades: 1

Code: 30900054
Price: $3.50
New Skyline Motel (Flagstaff, USA)
Where to start? Well, it’s an unmailed card from 1958, according to pencilled notation on reverse, alongside the black travel agency rubber stamp. Apparently the motel had recently changed management as the names of the previous managers are markered-out. This card could appeal to collectors of Route 66 memorabilia. Grade: 4

Code: 30900055
Price: $4.00
Sheraton Plaza Hotel (Boston, USA)
Unmailed Plastichrome Colourpicture card P33107 from mid-1960s. Grade: 2

Code: 30900056
Price: $2.00
Palace Hotel (San Francisco)
Unused Nature Tone Views linen card #43824, standard aging, nice old view of Market Street from the 1940s (?). Grade: 2

Code: 30900057
Price: $4.50
Holiday Inn (Kuching, Malaysia)
It’s a lot cheaper to get this card than it is to fly to Borneo, trust us. The card was issued in about the 1980s by the Holiday Inn in Kuching. The Holiday Inn had a great band then, by the way. Card is unused, starting to age, but in excellent shape. Grade: 1

Code: 30900058
Price: $7.50
Riviera Hotel, Ginger Rogers (Las Vegas)
Slightly oversized (4″ x 7″) card from the early 1960s, showing Miss Rogers in her “premiere Las Vegas cafe appearance.” The card is aging and has a travel agent’s rubber stamp on the reverse but if you’re a collector of Las Vegas, or any of the glitz associated with Vegas, this one’s for you. Grade: 4

Code: 30900059
Price: $6.00
Riviera Hotel, Lionel Hampton (Las Vegas)
This somewhat oversized (4″ x 7″) unused card from the 1960s is a little smudged on both sides but definitely a prize catch for Hampton or Riviera collectors. Grade: 2

Code: 30900060
Price: $6.00
Williamsburg Inn (Virginia)
An “Official Colonial Williamsburg Card” of “One of America’s discreetly luxurious hotels,” though not so discreet that it can’t be on a postcard. This one was mailed in 1994 with a 50-cent stamp but only part of a postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 30900061
Price: $3.50
Kuih Lapis, Hilton Hotel (Kuala Lumpur)
Unused postcard of a traditional Malaysian desert and a defunct Kuala Lumpur hotel. Grade: 2

Code: 30900062
Price: $2.50
Fruitcake, Hilton Hotel (Kuala Lumpur)
To their credit, the now-defunct Hilton Hotel in K.L. did not call fruitcake a “traditional Malaysian dessert.” They just left the caption off the card. Unused card from the 1980s, aging on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 30900063
Price: $2.50
Hilton Hotel, Paddock (Kuala Lumpur)
In its day, the Hilton was arguably the greatest of the mass-market hotels in Malaysia. But it’s gone now. We remember some interesting times there. Four cards from the 1980s are available. One is unused (Grade: 1, $4). Three were mailed, each with two stamps and partial postmark (Grades: 2, $4.50).

Code: 30900064
Price: $4.00
Myrtle Bank Hotel (Jamaica)
Here’s a case where someone went to the Canal Zone and took the trouble to buy a stamp and mail the card describing the trip (Canal Zone stamp and fully readable postmark) in 1954, yet the card itself comes from a hotel in Jamaica. There is also a rubber stamp from a travel agency on the back. Can’t do anything about it, though. Grade: 4

Code: 30900065
Price: $7.50
Hotel (Moscow)
This card was mailed from Moscow in 1969. There’s good news, and there’s bad news. The good news is that the two stamps are exceptionally large and colourful, including one of a space walk. The bad news is that one stamp covers the name of the hotel. Full postmark, though! Grade: 2

Code: 30900066
Price: $9.50
Continental Hotel (Saigon)
This scene hasn’t changed much in many years–but it will. And the Continental was our favourite hotel, in many ways. Card was mailed in 1995, with two different stamps and mostly legible postmark. Minor abrasion from the postmark machine on the reverse, and very faint barcode hidden on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 30900067
Price: $10.00
Hotel du Rhone (Geneva)
Card is from 2001, but mailed from Hong Kong–not Switzerland–with two stamps and mostly legible postmark. It also has a USA postal barcode at the bottom reverse, and a bit of water damage. Grade: 4

Code: 30900068
Price: $3.00
Spa (Schlangenbad im Taunus, Germany)
In 1970 the writer went to this spa and may have meant to send the card but never addressed or stamped it, so only the message is there. Grade: 4

Code: 30900069
Price: $1.50
Taj Mahal Hotel and Taj InterContinental Hotel (Bombay)
Unused card, probably 1970s. Grade: 1

Code: 30900070
Price: $6.00
Rex Hotel (Saigon)
In the centre of downtown Saigon, and with considerably more traffic now than when this photo was taken. The rooftop at the Rex was THE place to sit, reflect–and drink. Unused card from the 1990s. Grade: 1

Code: 30900071
Price: $3.00
Hongkong Hilton, Wan Fu
When there still was a Hilton in Hong Kong, it was a rare treat to be invited aboard the Wan Fu. Now, no more Hilton, and no more Wan Fu. We think. Where did it go? Card mailed in 1984, two stamps, full postmark, blue tri-lingual airmail stamp affixed. Grade: 1

Code: 30900072
Price: $8.50
Hilton (Tokyo)
Two cards are available. One was mailed to USA in 1982, with two stamps, full postmark, and normal postal battering. But not much of that (Grade: 1, $4). The other is unused (Grade: 1, $3).

Code: 30900073
Price: $3.00
Shah’s Beach Motel (Malacca, Malaysia)
Yes, even in Malaysia there are motels. The caption says this one has 600 years of tradition, but we don’t think the facility is that old. It just looked that way. Unused card from the late 1980s. Grade: 1

Code: 30900074
Price: $4.50
Hongkong Hotel from Pedder Street (Hong Kong)
This unused card 311 published by A.H. & Co. has seemingly random colours all over it. Grade: 2

Code: 30900076
Price: $62.00
Peak Hotel H.K. (Hong Kong)
Search engines tell us this hotel burned down in 1938. There’s certainly no trace of it now. The real photo card, unused and unattributed, has album indents on the corners, and the lower left corner is significantly creased. We very much wish we could have seen this hotel while it was still standing. We stand on the spot it occupied almost every other day. Grade: 4

Code: 30900077
Price: $129.00
Repulse Bay Hotel (Hong Kong) (photograph)
This series of 2.5″ x 3.5″ B&W glossy photos (the others are in different categories, not hotels) appear to have been used as templates for real-photo postcards. We can’t be certain of that, but the presence of captions on some of these photos suggests so. You can see the rest of these photos in the “Hong Kong” category. The photos had been attached to albums, so the reverses have some paper adhesions. But the fronts are all very good. And very clear, as well. Grade: 2

Code: 30900081
Price: $29.00
Radisson Seoul Plaza Hotel, fittings (Korea)
Unused card from the late 1990s or maybe early 2000s. Grade: 1

Code: 30900082
Price: $3.00
Alvarado Hotel (Albuquerque, NM)
Unmailed Petley card 18244 from the 1950s or 60s. The front, which also shows Santa Fe RR tracks, is excellent; the reverse has a travel agent’s rubber stamp mark on it. Grade: 4

Code: 30900083
Price: $3.00
The Lodge (Los Alamos, NM)
Unmailed Dexter Press card 71240 showing The Lodge Hotel, which had been part of the Los Alamos Ranch School previously. Front of card is excellent. Reverse has a travel agent’s rubber stamp. Grade: 4

Code: 30900084
Price: $1.00
Cheyenne Lodge (Colorado, USA)
This is an older Sanborn Souvenir card 516 (and 113318-N), along the Broadmoor – Cheyenne Mountain Highway, but mailed from Hong Kong to California in 1984. It therefore has a Hong Kong stamp and partly legible postmark, and a blue bilingual airmail sticker affixed. Grade: 3

Code: 30900085
Price: $3.00
Grand Hyatt (Jakarta, Indonesia)
Three cards are available. They were not issued by the Grand Hyatt, which is just as well, because the caption refers to something (the hotel? Jakarta?) “in its busy-ever night time,” which the card clearly isn’t. Two cards are unused (Grades: 1, $3) and one was mailed in 2012 with two large stamps, illegible postmark, and address label affixed (Grade: 2, $4).

Code: 30900086
Price: $3.00
Hotel New Japan, night (Tokyo)
Two of these 1970s cards are available. One is unused (Grade: 1, $3) and the other was mailed from Tokyo in 1977 with stamp and full postmark (Grade: 1, $6).

Code: 30900087
Price: $3.00
Hotel New Japan (Tokyo)
Unused card from about 1977. Grade: 1

Code: 30900088
Price: $3.00
