Haiti’s iconic Hotel Oloffson, long a cultural beacon, destroyed by gang violence

Main entry to the Hotel Oloffson, built as a private residence by Simon Sam in about 1886. American Marines leased it and turned it into a military hospital in the early 20th century. In 1936 Walter Oloffson converted it to a hotel. In the 1950s through 1970s it was a Hollywood jetset destination.

The Hotel Oloffson in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince, long a haven for artists and writers, poets and presidents, a symbol of Haiti’s troubled politics and its storied past, has been destroyed by gangs.
