Hotel Puerta America, Madrid


The Hotel Puerta America Madrid is not your average hotel. 19 of the worlds powerhouse architects and designers have had the opportunity to design a floor, each representing their own style from every detail down to the towels. The colourful facade reveals somewhat the variety of the interior. The contributors are: Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, David Chipperfield, Plasma Studio, Victorio & Luccino, Mark Newson, Rod Arad, Kathryn Findlay, Richard Gluckman, Arata Isozaki, Javier Mariscal & Fernando Salas, John Pawson, Christian Liaigre, Teresa Sapey, Harriet Bourne & Jonathan Bell, Arnold Chan, Felipe Saez de Gordoa and Oscar Neimeyer. In short it is an eclectic mix of spaces, a daring project which is a bold departure from the usual. Even more they have a great website with in-depth information covering each floor. Each architect and designers' profile has a report of their own input, images and a video of their speech at the opening press conference.
Which floor is your favourite?
