This super modern Spanish hotel had the input of globally recognised architects like Normal Foter, Jean Nouvel and Zaha Hadid. Each took on a different floor, injecting their own style into every level. On arrival, guests are shown through the hotel to investigate the different architects' visions. Then, they choose which futuristic room they want to stay in. There's even a ‘Space Club’ themed room, decked out wall-to-wall in bright white.
Australia's own Mona Pavilions sit at the forefront when it comes to sleekly designed, modern hotels. You'll find glass cubes and steel frames suspended above the water outside each suite, while on the inside the walls are adorned with pieces from MONA’s internationally renowned art collection. Add in wireless controlls, a waterproof LCD TV and surrounding music servers and your future is looking very bright.
