Dear Louis,
This hotel building is been said to serve as the inspiration for the sandcrawlers used by the jawas in the movie Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope that largely took place in Tunisia. Nonetheless, the architect of this building, that it is now under threat of demolition, was inspired by the Italian Pavilion at the 1954 Zagreb Fair.
Love,
