What's the antonym of " modern style " when it comes to describing restaurants or hotels ? You know some restaurants or hotels are decorated in a very modern style while others look like those from the old days . Generally , we could describe this first kind as the "the hotel is in modern style " or " this hotel looks very modern "in English , but I wonder how I should describe the latter in English ? Can I say " this hotel looks very retro " or " this hotel is in retro style " in English ? I wonder if this sounds really weird to native speakers or what else should I say it in English to sound more natural ? Thanks a lot !

That depends on how old the style is, what the style is, and how negative you want to be. Retro, quaint, old-fashioned all can work. You can use a specific style, such as Art Deco, or Gothic. I'm assuming you are referring to something that has been recently (re)decorated, and you aren't referring to something that you would describe as tired, or tatty.

You could say modernistic style for the first style, or use the decade it was built in or replicates/imitates as a style for the second style. 1930's style is often copied. or retro is commonly used. vintage is used also. Victorian, Georgian, Edwardian. Tudor, mock Tudor, 16th century, 17th century. It depends on where you draw the line between modern and old. Modern architecture began in the early 1900's and was established by 1928 in America with the first skyscrapers.
