Lunar Hilton - inspiration for Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino

As the Russians had launched Sputnik in October of 1957, kicking off the Space Age - a period of tremendous fear and wide-eyed hope for what was to come... One of those was Hotel on the Moon... In 1967, Barron Hilton told the Wall Street Journal that he anticipated opening a hotel on the Moon within his lifetime. In the article, he described the Lunar Hilton as a 100-room hotel that would be built below the surface. Guests would gather around a piano bar in an observation dome that allowed them to gaze back at Earth. "So when you gaze at planet Earth from outer space" Arctic Monkeys - American Sports

The hotel group even printed “reservations cards” and hotel keys which were distributed as promotional items in Hilton hotels.

This idea got caught up in popular culture - the reference to a "Hilton Space Station 5" in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. "I told you about that room with the piano in LA, right? At my place we call that room The Lunar Surface. It’s from that rumour how Stanley Kubrick just staged the whole moon landing in his basement. Every time I sat down to work on songs in my basement, I thought: he’s gonna come down to fake the moon landing any time now. That’s how the moon entered the story. And the calm, thanks to an Apollo mission." - Alex Turner

How does it connect to TBHC?

"....I had already thought about what the album was gonna be called: The Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino. It’s a place on the moon. I fantasised about writing a commercial text for a hotel and casino on the moon. In that case, ‘The Star Treatment’ would have been the ultimate slogan! I can already visualise the commercial in my head. I love those commercial visuals for hi-fi devices from the 70s. Highlighted just like that, accompanied by neon lettering. Yeah, if I had to create and advertisement for a hotel, I would definitely put ‘Star Treatment’ in there. But it also comes from a different place. " [x]

The album's artwork was designed by Alex Turner using cardboard cut-outs. He began by drawing a hexagon, to reflect the band's sixth studio album, eventually drawing influence from architects Eero Saarinen and John Lautner, becoming "quite consumed" by the process. The artwork was initially inspired by a photograph depicting the set for a Lunar Hilton hotel being built for 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

"In the past I've definitely had record covers that don't, to me, represent what's on the wax, and I certainly don't feel that way about this one. By the end of it, I think I'd forgotten there even was a record. I'd just gotten obsessed with cardboard."

Interestingly, he has referred to architecture a few times, namely in this interview in 2013, talking about the same architects (Marvin Goody, John Lautner) [min 14:40]. He is definitely knowledgeable/interested in it, and has been since 2013... If you know more of these references, let me know!
