The hotel gratefully acknowledges:

The Infinite Hotel Paradox - Jeff Dekofsky, TED-Ed (2014)
The film that inspired this project. All guests should watch it once.
David Hilbert, lectures on the infinite, Göttingen (1924)
Where the hotel first took guests. Hilbert supplied the premise; the paradox runs itself.
George Gamow, One Two Three… Infinity (1947)
The book that made the hotel famous, decades before it had a website.
Poiret One, by Denis Masharov
The display face. Geometric, deco, and exactly as thin as the premise.
Cormorant, by Christian Thalmann
The serif. Used for quotations, subheads, and anything printed on paper.
Jost, by indestructible type
The body face, in the spirit of the geometric sans faces of the 1920s.
Art Deco, generally
The hotel opened in 1924 and has not redecorated.
