Vintage postcard AMBASSADOR HOTEL WASHINGTON DC 1930s

This postcard is richly coloured.

It pictures the newly built hotel, which was completed in 1929

Love that it advertises a 'radio in every room'

The Ambassador Hotel, located on the southwest corner of 14th and K Streets NW across from Franklin Square, was a showcase of modern amenities and conveniences when it opened in September 1929. It was the work of successful developer Morris Cafritz (1890-1964), who lived at the hotel for a number of years and had his offices there. An important and distinctive DC landmark, the Ambassador nevertheless didn't aim for the heights of refinement and elegance embodied in, say, the Willard or the Mayflower. Instead it was designed for the common man, advertising itself as the "stopping place of experienced travelers." (from Wikipedia)

It is now demolished.
