Hotel Victory on South Bass Island

The Hotel Victory opened on South Bass Island in 1892. It was an enormous structure that accommodated 625 guests and had a capacity for 800 dinner guests. The owners believed the hotel, located on a bluff on the west side of the island, could compete with the prestigious summer retreats on the East Coast. Promotional materials boasted that the Hotel Victory was the largest seasonal hotel in the country. The hotel burned to the ground in a massive fire in 1919. Today the grounds are part of the South Bass Island State Park.

Rotunda of the Breakers Hotel

The five-story Rotunda of the lobby of the Breakers Hotel provided a place for guests to relax and enjoy the hotel. Wicker furniture was imported from Europe. The Rotunda was also the scene of entertainment including impromptu concerts from Metropolitan Opera stars such as Enrico Caruso, who stopped at Cedar Point on their way to Chicago for the Met's summer season.
