The five-story hotel with a tower at its centre was built in the style of Neo-Classicism between 1933 and 1936, and it is known as the "White House" or "White Ship."  The building is seen as one of the most outstanding structures of the first period of Latvian independence, and it was one of the symbols of the independent state.  The building has survived, as have some of the interior design elements and artworks of the vestibule, music salon, library and dining hall.  The Ķemeri Hotel is also known for having served as a set for the Aigars Grauba film "Terrible Summer."  In 1998, the sanatorium was privatised by the Ominasis Italia S.R.L. company.  Restoration has continued for more than a decade, and the building can only be viewed from the outside.  There is a garden on its western side.
