Individually themed rooms is nothing new in the hotel world. Hotel Fox will take that idea to a new level when it opens this April in Copenhagen. The hotel has been transformed by 21 street artists, graphic designers and illustrators from Europe, North and South America, and Australia. Each of the 61 rooms has a unique installation; the works have been commissioned by Die Gestalten Verlag, the acclaimed Berlin-based design book publisher. For Robert Klanten, head of publishing, the criteria were clear: "We wanted to put together a group of modern, contemporary graphic designers and illustrators, outstanding and innovative in their fields, whose work is playful, positive, catchy and funky."

The 26-room building suspends the containers as self-contained pods within a steel beam grid, enabling both adaptability to changing surroundings and a sunken bar/concert area on the ground floor. via Hotel Chatter...

A three hour drive southwest of Shanghai on the outskirts of Hangzhou, we recommend staying at Fuchun Resort if you're in the area. Pronounced 'Foo-choo-win,' it's the ultimate antidote to bright lights and big cities. Designed by Jean-Michel...
