Hotel Attraction was a proposal by the architect Antoni Gaudí for a skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, New York City, commissioned in May 1908. As designed, it would have stood 1,180 feet tall, a height many at the time believed unrealistic for its futuristic form. Little was known about the project until 1956, when a report by Joan Matamala i Flotats was published, and a later modified version of the drawings by Paul Laffoley drew broad media attention when proposed as a basis for rebuilding the World Trade Center site.
