Uniquely Designed Hotel Rooms That Are Worth The Trip

We find most hotel rooms to be like politicians- indistinguishable, uninspiring and desperately lacking in character. Even when they are boutique-a-tized, they can get boring pretty quickly. That's why we’re excited that some very cool hotels are going the extra mile.


At the Copenhagen Fox Hotel, 21 artists have ensured each room has a distinctive style, including a Street Art room and Japanese anime room. unique hotel in San Paolo is so modern it must be written in lower case. Rooms have curved wooden floors like skateboard ramps, light walls hold plasma screens and there’s even a crimson swimming pool on the roof. The Ripa Hotel in Rome is built like a giant Lite Brite set with floor to ceiling glass windows each lit up in a different yet familiar shade of purple, blue or green.

Think about how it... How much are you paying for each waking minute you spend in yet another ubiquitous hotel room? For your hard earned money don’t you think you deserve a bit more?
