Satellite Hotel, Colorado Springs, CO - Googie Architecture on Waymarking.com

George Jetson could live here, it looks like, even with a private balcony for his car/briefcase to land on. The sign up front is classic Googie. Rooms are available for the night, but there are tennis courts, swimming pool, and meeting rooms, too. The three wings were completed in phases in the 1960s and 1970s as the demand for senior living quarters was met. A radio station used to broadcast from the top floor, but they've since moved on to a newer booth.
