However, a "zecher l'churban" unfinished wall area is  required in
other public use buildings such as catering halls and hotels.  Piskei

Has anyone ever seen such a thing in a hotel or  catering hall?

I have been in very few homes where there was a noticeable  zecher

I've never seen it in a hotel and have rarely seen  it in chu'l, but in E'Y 
almost every charedi apartment has an unpainted  rectangle over the front 
door.
 
In my own home (Florida) whenever some tile breaks  or paint flakes off and 
I don't get around to fixing it, I just say,  "Zecher lechurban."  
 
This is only semi-humorous, because I believe that the  entropy that 
results in constant breakage and flakeage is the result of our  living in a 
non-redeemed world.  Entropy won't exist anymore (or won't  cause personal damage 
and loss) when Moshiach comes.  The ultimate entropy  is death and death 
will be no more.
