正太饭店建筑结构与经营缘起稽考

Research on the Origin of Zhengtai Hotel's Building Structure and Management

正太饭店是石家庄一座拥有百余年历史的西式建筑,2008年被列为河北省文物保护单位。起初正太饭店是南、东、北三楼融为一体的凹字型结构建筑,其修建者是一个未解之谜。20世纪20年代初,石家庄作为晋冀咽喉的枢纽城市,开办高档酒店正太饭店,这与山西督军阎锡山推行新政存在一定关联性。正太饭店在经营策略上,采取了高品质定位,以优取胜,造就了地方餐饮旅店行业的名牌。30年代正太饭店南楼向西扩建延伸,北楼北侧扩建了二层半圆阳台等。1949年新中国成立后,将原凹字型建筑逐步扩建为日字型建筑群,并将主体二层增高为三层。将此建筑群笼统地称为民国建筑,并不属实。
