Paying homage to our roots, our name is a whimsical nod to the age-old craft of shoemaking. Considered the most vital element of shoemaking, a “last” is the wooden form shaped similarly to that of a human foot and used to retain each design’s distinctive shape while leather carefully is fitted on it. The word “last” is derived from the Old English “laest“, meaning footprint, and shoemakers think of it “the soul of the shoe.” Hence, The Last Hotel.
