I love the works of Antoni Gaudi and while I’m pretty sure there was nothing that would have made him leave his beloved Barcelona I like to think that in the world that Rhapsodies takes place in he got a lot more international commissions.

The Hiram Ballard Hotel, known to the locals as just the Gaudi Tower, was first shown as part of the Homestead skyline during Kate’s first date with Stefan. It was later identified by name as the location for a large gala thrown by her publisher.
