Hotel Design

I am going away this summer and traveling by myself! It’s a little daunting but exciting. As I was looking at hotels with my significant other, I decided to look up hotel architecture. I had remember hearing about really interesting buildings in Dubai but this one here caught my eye as soon as I did a search.

This here is the Helix Hotel set on the waters of Abu Dhabi, designed by a firm in New York. The curves are representative of the streets one would walk through and it features outside panels that use a material called GROW. This, apparently, has photovoltaic and wind harnessing capabilities. I’ll link a website that give you further details about the design, as well as more photos. Overall, this is one very fascinating five-star hotel!
