Function, flow, and space. Things we don?t always think about when we go into hotels, right? For the past couple of years though, I have been really looking into how hotels handle and manage their guests through the use of architecture and design. I have been going beyond the average hotels, traveling to more luxurious and grand hotels. Hotels that have invested serious time, effort, and money into making their presents more than just a temporary stay, but an experience. I have been visually studying how guests of these luxury hotels are guided and comforted in each of these establishments I go to. From the lobby to the bedroom, each hotel has their own style and functionality that leads and directs each guest. Within these places, to most of us, the architecture and designing is just pleasing to the eye; but if one takes the time to study these hotels like I have, each hotel is loaded with reasoning in both the sense of function and concept. The Hyatt, Embassy Suites, Westin, Le Meridien; these are hotel chains I have visited to visually capture and explore the art of hotels with my camera. I have been striving to show, frame by frame, what hotels really have to offer. I want to share with those who view this series, that the higher quality hotels are not a status symbol for those who stay in such hotels, but that these outstanding hotels are intractable pieces of art from their core architecture, to their interior and exterior design. This is a major project that has been in production for some time, and what you see here is still just the start of it. I plan for this project to continue for years to come.
