Hotel Design





My work brings me to many hotels all over the world.  Most of them are in the 4 star range, some of them big names like Hilton or Sheraton.  Others are smaller, local and sometimes even boutique hotels.  I'm always curious and enjoy seeing their sense of interior design,  from the building's architectural details to the furniture in lobbies,  bars and in the rooms.  There is always art displayed on the walls or sculptures,  many of which reflect the location and cultural background of where the hotel is situated.   Here are some photos of their designs. 




Calligraphy,  both traditional and modern,  is often on display in Chinese hotels, like these ones in Shanghai and Beijing.
