Hotels often try to differentiate themselves by offering
unique services and amenities, and some hotels are attracting guests in a
distinct way. Here are three hotels that
are going above and beyond normal expectations by trying out new, interesting
designs in architecture.
The Hotel Unbalance in Lima, Peru looks like a building
falling off the edge of a cliff. It is designed to be partially built into the
cliff in effort to give it an unbalanced appearance and to maximize the views
of the Pacific Ocean and Andes Mountains. The Hotel Unbalance will have 125
guest rooms, rooftop restaurants, conference rooms, and exhibition spaces. The
property is still in its development stage so it is not known when it will
open.
The Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort, opening in October
2013, is in the shape of a doughnut – while not visible, the bottom ends are
connected by underground floors. The exterior of this hotel also stands out with
an LED light system that displays animated textures and patterns. The resort offers
321 guest rooms each with private balconies.
The InterContinental Shimao Shanghai Wonderland is a 19
story hotel and attraction being constructed in an old quarry and set to open
in late 2014 or early 2015. Sixteen floors of the hotel will be located
underground and built onto the side of the quarry while the other three are
above ground. Underground, guests can enjoy luxury rooms, a spa, restaurants
(including one underwater), and an aquarium. Above ground, the resort will feature
adventurous activities, such as rock climbing and bungee jumping utilizing the
hotel’s cliffs.
Add these to our list of “hotels to visit”!
