The aim of this study is to clarify the designing principle of hotels during Taisho and early Showa period through examining the architectural handbooks and documents written by hotel managers or architects of the period. The profitability was found to be the most important factor for hotel managers in designing a hotel throughout the period. Although documents by architects and architectural handbooks before around 1930 ignored profitability aspect, guidelines which appeared in documents of the sort after the period directed architects to consider profitability. It shows that function and form became subordinate factor to profitability in designing hotels during the period.
