Urquiola is a big name in hotel interiors. This set of pics is from her work on a Barcelona, Spain hotel from the luxury hotel chain Mandarin Oriental. Architecture is by Carlos Ferrater and Juan Trias de Bes.There are Oriental-inspired patterns and textures, and long, sleek lines. The greys, greens, browns, and creams are good, practical choices for a hotel because they inspire calm. Used correctly, they can look expensive, as well.
The BAB Hotel, located at the heart of the Gueliz district in Marrakesh, Morocco, is sleek and artsy. There are pops of color on a monochrome canvas, with playful and comfy textures. What a great place for guests to relax! Interiors and furniture designed by Studio Hopscotch.
Global hoteliers Ritz-Carlton have just completed work on the chain’s new Hong Kong location which resides within the 118-story high International Commerce Center (ICC) in the West Kowloon district. The hotel, with interiors by Singapore-based LTW Design Works, will occupy the uppermost sixteen stories of the ICC.312 rooms make full use of the world record height. The building contains a glass enclosed pool and a terrace with wrap-around windows which are located on the 118th floor. Needless to say, it's not for the squeamish.Hong Kong has maintained its image as an international business hub and seemingly seeks to win the race to build taller and bigger.

This marvelous eco-friendly hotel in the desert is an uncommon project of Parisian designer Matali Crasset. Located at the edge of the Sahara desert in Tunisia and overlooking a palm tree oasis, this retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation was designed with ecological conscience and oriental philosophy. The concepts of air -- in the elevated houses -- and dune – in the rooms located by the sand -- are omni-present.Especially intriguing is the presence of Moorish-inspired elements, from the massive yet sinuous wall of the main facade to the small and symbolic perforations in the earth and sand-colored walls, to the blue tiles of the steam rooms.
