Blow Up Hall 5050 – The Reception-Less Hotel In Poznan

Blow Up Hall 50/50 is a complex that includes a restaurant, art gallery, and hotel. It commissioned its hallmark installation to be designed by crucial artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, one of the world's top digital artists.

He is a BAFTA prize winner, and his work has appeared in New York and the Tate Modern London.

There is no reception or door numbers. Here, guests book, locate, and open their rooms with iPhones that use digital recognition technology to unlock doors.

Luckily the massages on offer are still done by trained humans in an old-fashioned way. Robot design hasn’t gone to the stage where they can give a good massage, as their hands are too cold.

You can also relax in the large steam room. The complex also includes boutique shopping in a nearby converted brewery. The restaurant is top-class, and the bar is resplendent in purple and geometric finery.

Domaine du Château des Pères - A Gorilla, a Michelin Star, and a Hotel in a Tree

There's a giant gorilla watching over the grounds. A wolf, frozen mid-sprint, tears through the woodland. And somewhere above the kitchen garden, suspended nearly 28 meters (92 feet) off the ground in a pod that looks like it belongs in a 1970s science fiction paperback, someone is waking up to …

La Muralla Roja - The Real Squid Game Building Is on the Spanish Coast

In 1973, Ricardo Bofill completed a residential building on the cliffs of Calpe that was so visually arresting it would take the internet fifty years to fully lose its mind over it. Its labyrinthine staircases inspired the set designers of Squid Game. Its rooftop pool, painted in shades of cobalt …

Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort - A Bamboo Sanctuary In The Tabanan Jungle

There's a version of "eco resort" that means a few solar panels and a sign about towel reuse. Ulaman is not that. This is a place where the walls are literally compressed earth, the staircases are woven bamboo, and there's a hand-carved wine cave hidden behind a stone wall that …

Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel - The Grand Dame Still Throwing the Best Party on the Beach

A hotel got shot in the crossfire of a presidential scandal, hosted the first screen pairing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and somehow still manages to feel like the calmest place on one of the world's loudest beaches. That's Copacabana Palace in a nutshell: a century-old Art Deco block …

Auberge Aux 4 Vents - The Swiss Hotel Where You Can Take a Bath Outdoors - From the Second Floor

Between Fribourg's medieval rooftops and a park full of century-old beeches, a renovated 17th-century manor is doing something quietly remarkable. Auberge aux 4 Vents is not a boutique hotel in the algorithmic sense - all reclaimed wood and oat milk. It is something older and stranger: a patrician country manor …
