Top Ten Luxury
Hotel Lobbies with Attitude
The days when a lobby was just the place to check- in are long gone. Lobbies these days are cool, they're hip, they're happening. We seem to be channelling Austin Powers here but the point is, the best lobbies are a destination in themselves not just a holding bay on the way to your room. The lobbies we love have innovative art, mood lighting and chill out spaces you actually want to be in. So who better to find us the best than our friends at Design Hotels. Here's our vote for the Top Ten Lobbies with Attitude.
