Hotel Metković
Hotel Metković
Hotel „Metković“ drugi je po redu hotel otvoren u gradu, a podignut je na zapadnome kutu susreta Glavne ulice i tadašnje Plokate, koju djelomično zatvara. Brijač Jozo Levantin naručio je gradnju 1907. godine te je godinu poslije hotel dovršen i otvoren. Kao i „Austria“ raspolagao je sa 16 gostinjskih soba te je imao kavanu, restoran i kuhinju. Tlocrtna osnova u obliku je slova „L“, prekinuta je uskom zidnom plohom sjecišta na kojoj se uz prozorski otvor nekad nalazio balkon.
Prizemlje i kat hotela razdijeljeni su vijencem, što je osobina historicizma, no izduženi katni prozori dekorirani su skromnim secesijskim ornamentom romba (u dekorativnoj žbuci) na prozorskim parapetima. Manji pravokutni otvori nižu se na tavanskoj zoni pročelja pod krovnim vijencem. Na prozorske osi izvorno su se nadovezivali i pravokutni ulazni otvori koji su kasnije zamijenjeni staklenom površinom. U hotelu se nalazio i stan obitelji Levantin. Tijekom Prvoga svjetskog rata dio prostora zauzela je i prenamijenila austrijska vojska.
Metković Hotel
The Metković hotel is the second hotel in a row opened in the town, raised in the Western corner where the Glavna ulica and the then Plokata meet, which it partly closes in. The barber Jozo Levantin ordered the construction in 1907 and, a year later, the hotel was completed and opened. Just like ‘Austria’, it had 16 guest rooms and a café, a restaurant and a kitchen. The ground floor base is in the shape of the letter ‘L’ and interrupted with a narrow wall intersection area, where, along with the window opening, there used to be a balcony.
The ground floor and the first floor of the hotel are separated by a crest, which is a feature of historicism; however, the elongated first floor windows are decorated in modest secessionist rhomb ornament (in decorative plaster) on the window parapets. There are smaller rectangular openings in the garret front area under the roof crest. The window axes were originally followed by rectangular ingoing openings that were later replaced by a glass surface. In the hotel, there was also the apartment of the Levantin family. During World War I, a part of the space was taken and repurposed by the Austrian army.
