This is a spin off from a recent thread . . . where have you seen ceiling fans installed in hotels?
I'll start
First time, I stayed with my parents in a very tiny Days Inn, it had a 5 blade 42" Littleton-style hugger in the Lobby.
I traveled down to Mississippi with a gospel choir when I was still in high school, we stayed in a very old Holiday Inn that had an Adaptair in the lobby, two Kmart huggers over the balcony overlooking the lobby, and two Ritz Emperors on either end of the atrium. Very cool.
Best Westerns are often good for fans. Almost every one I've stayed in has had industrials over the pool, ranging from Dayton Marleys to ConTects to Envirofans to Emersons. One also had a Murray Feiss hugger over the front desk and a Casablanca Saturn over the stairway.
There's a Best Western here in town that has a restaurant with Mosses on a mirrored ceiling, pictures are in the Yahoo Group. There's another Best Western with Modern Fan Co's in the lobby, they replaced these Menards UFO looking fans which replaced some GE vent 80s fans.
There's an America Inn here in town with many many Panamas in the lobby.
There's a very upscale hotel in Milwaukee, dont remember the name, with Casablanca Centuries in the lobby. PB with white stencil blades. Another hotel in Milwaukee has an ornate Parlourfan over the stairway.
JW has posted about a hotel in Dallas with 1886s over the carport. I saw it when I went to Dallas.
Disneyworld is loaded with fans including in the hotels, and especially outside on the walkways and carports. So is the Opryland in Nashville.

Unfortunately, none of the hotels I've stayed in had fans.

In Disney World the first time, we stayed at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. In our room was a Fasco Charleston. The second time we stayed is the Contemporary Resort, and had a Fasco Great Room? in the room.
When I was VERY little, it's surprising I even remember this, but we stayed in an old fashion "strip" hotel in Erskine Minnesota. In the pool area there were fans randomly placed all over the area. I can only remember one fan was a white builder fan with a spotlight kit. I can't remember what the others were. There were 5-6 fans, and all were different. Somehow I remember a Moss Caribbean Breeze industrial, the first one I ever saw, but maybe that was somewhere else.
And of course the Best Western in the other thread.
Also in Thief River Falls was a C'mon Inn that we frequently stayed at, and they had four Envirofan Gold lines. Now there are five fans, and some of the Enviros have been replaced with something I can't tell what they are.

Out of all the hotels I've ever stayed in only rarely have they ever had ceiling fans. I stayed at a small hotel in Atlantic City, NJ that had a new PB Hunter (I think) in the lobby, don't remember which model but nothing interesting. The only other fans I ever recall seeing in hotels were usually some type of builder fan. When I was at Penn State a Days Inn there had 5-bladed GE vent fans in a liquor store that was inside the hotel. I've never stayed in a hotel that had fans in the rooms themselves.

I thought of more.
Also when I was little, we stayed at a Country Inn and Suites in Duluth, Minnesota. The only thing I remember about the hotel was that our room had a Jacuzzi tub and a ceiling fan. I had been so excited, I believe that it was a textured white/tan builder fan, some sort of Regency perhaps.
And a couple years ago, my great-grandma died and we went to Boyd, Wisconsin for her funeral. The Days Inn that we stayed at further out of Boyd in a larger-ish town had a Hunter Low Profile in the lobby. The church also had some unknown ornate fans.

Most of large chained hotels usually never have ceiling fans in the rooms but sometimes in the pool area, lobby and restaurant.
There a large hostel wood log style with high vaulted ceiling in the lobby, restaurant and the indoor pool. I went there two times, one in March 2000 just to visit and eat there but the other time in October 2004 to spend a weekend there. This large hostel was build in 1999. The lobby, restaurant and pool have 56'' Canarm Industrials painted in beige. And each room have a Canarm Zephyr hugger 42'' white & PB with 3 lights. Very nice place!
Back in summer 1997 and 1998 I want two summers in a row at a family summer base camp. The rooms are two story chalets with high ceilings. Each Chalet have one 56'' beige Con-Tech Industrial with straight blades and variable speed wall control. The indoor pool also have the same fan but in white always on high. The dance room had two white 52'' 5 bladed hugger with dome light kits. They looked exactly Harbor Breeze Armitage. The buffet room also had one white 56'' Industrial but with curved blades and thick motor. It looked like an older Evergo.
Last summer I went 10 days in the eastern provinces. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince-Edouard-Island. I saw a LOT of fans but could not take pics of em. We were alternating from large chained hotels to B&B. None of the large chained hotels had ceiling fans anywhere in the hotels and all the B&B always had at least one ceiling fan in the whole house. So the key is to go in smaller hotels, Hostels and B&B.

Hey, I've seen a fan in just one hotel room before as well. The first time I went to Stillwater, Minnesota, we stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. There was a generic looking hugger that I barely saw as the door to the room closed. There weren't fans in any other locations.

The Holiday Inn I stayed at a while back had a brass Hunter Millenium in the lobby on a long downrod and the Hampton had a white and brass Casablanca Victorian in the lobby over the seating area.
I stayed at a Ramada that had a tiki hut style building by the pool with GE vent AB fans underneath that were in bad shape. They may have been Mosses.
At one beach I have stayed at several little motels. One years ago had AB Emperor huggers in the rooms, since removed in a remodel.
One motel had a white SMC buildervent hugger 4 blade with lights in the kitchen area in the room. Another motel had a similar fan in the bedroom and an old control from an industrial fan in the living room, but no fan. The last time we went there was a newly remodeled motel with some kind of cheap fans on downrods in the office and some of the rooms.
I have heard too about the Grand Floridian having or had Great Rooms.

Was the Victorian at the Hampton one of the newer ones, or an older one?
Also, the Grand Floridian had four blade, non ornate Fascos, therefore Charlestons, they were mounted all over the hotel, along with some Casablancas that replaced some former Fascos.
The Contemporary Resort had the Great Rooms, at least I think that's what they were, I remember they were very large. We'll have to pull out the home video of it that we took. It was in one of the separate buildings off of the main hotel.

There are four blade, non ornate, non Charleston Fascos.
I've never stayed at a hotel with fans in the rooms. I've seen pictures.
I've also seen an apartment building with fans in the hallways instead of light fixtures. They were cheap 42" huggers with integrated light kits, U42 knockoffs.

That's true about the Fascos, I guess Charlestons are just most common around that area, so it would make more sense than something else.

Oh, this should be fun... Back around 2000 or so, I headed down to Florida (somewhere) for a wedding. I stayed at an Embassy Suites, which was probably built sometime around 1980. It was at least eight stories tall, had a foodcourt in the center, with a very tall glass ceiling, surrounded by open corridors and rooms. The lobby had two brass 42" hunter summer breezes over the front desk, and four brass 52" ornate ritzes. A side office had an antique brass ornate ritz. Surrounding the 'courtyard' on the ground floor was an open corridor. In two of the corners hung two more brass ritzes. There was a gazebo in the courtyard, which had a white/brass ornate 38" ritz, in the same style as the 52" version (these fans are not progresses, for they had fat, ornate switch housings). Beyond the food court was the kitchen, where there were four antique brass ritzes with three light kits with 4" fitters. There was a raised platform with three more ritzes, a brass 52" in the center and two 38" white/brass to the left and right. In 2002, I went to a Disney-style Holiday Inn somewhere in Orlando. This one was a bit newer. It had at least six antique brass casablanca new orleans throughout the large lobby and food court. To the side was a bar and an entertainment area. The bar had two antique brass IT casablanca victorians and two AB lady deltas over the bar itself. The entertainment area had a black casablanca artisan without the light kit. Outside, on the porch were at least eight white hunter sea airs. Each suite had a hampton bay grayton in the main bedroom. One hotel I stayed at in OCean City, MD had an SMC U-52. Another one had two of these crappy hampton bays in the lobby. A Best Western somewhere in North Carolina off of I-95 had two brass Fasco charlestons in the lobby. Now, I've been to this place three times in the past six years.. In Myrtle Beach, SC. is the Sand Dunes resort. It actually consists of two hotels.. the Sand Dunes and the Ocean Dunes, which are adjacent to eachother. This place has/had numerous fanimations, hunters and harbor breezes. Each individual suite had three white harbor breeze lakeside IIs. The lobby used to have two fanimation louvres. They were removed and replaced by four of these crappy things from Lowes. The restaurant used to have a few fanimation louvres near the bar. They have since been replaced and added to by these hunters. Over the stairs to the pool and the hallway to the lounge are three fanimation palisades. In the lounge itself, is another palisade.. it even comes with the damn parrot. In the Ocean Dunes lobby is another harbor breeze thing. In the hallway to the Ocean Dunes restaurant are two hunter silent breezes. Outside, are eight of these crappy harbor breeze outdoor fans. But the biggest surprise came when I took a look at the penthouse suite. The original hotel was built in the mid 80s, this is the part of the hotel with the penthouse. The interior simply screamed '1985', and so did its fans. There are FOUR bedrooms.. One used to have an IT casablanca, which has since been replaced by a hunter leighton.. rendering the W-32 control useless. Another bedroom had a brass IT casablanca panama with a hideous beveled glass light kit. I believe the flywheel is bad. Another bedroom had an antique white/brass IT casablanca four seasons, controlled by a simple light switch. The master bedroom had a jacuzi, facing the ocean.. and a brass IT casablanca zephyr, again.. controlled by a simple light switch.
