Hotel de Inmigrantes (Immigrants' Hotel) is a complex of buildings, often compared to a citadel, constructed between 1905 and 1911 in Buenos Aires, Argentina to receive immigrants and stem the tide of communicable diseases following mass cholera outbreaks across the globe. The hotel, which saw more than a million immigrants pass through during its 42 years, now houses the National Museum of Immigration as well as the National University of Tres de Febrero's Contemporary Art Center. Following the 1873-1874 cholera outbreak, brought to the Americas by migrant ships, the Argentinian government sought ideas for how to stop foreign illnesses from entering the country. Guillermo Wilcken, head of Argentina's Central Immigration Commission, began planning a center where the country could enforce immigration regulations, thus protecting public health. He made an effort to avoid calling the new construction the Immigrant Asylum due to the word's connotations with beggars and poverty. Instead, he suggested the Immigration Hotel, the Department of Immigration, or the Immigration Center. More information...
