Don’t take me wrong, I love stylish hotel rooms. The problem is when you throw out practicality for design or even worse still throw out taste.
Here are some of the most questionable design choices we’ve come across.

The Gray Hotel, Milan
OK these stairs look great but they’re not only terrifying to use sober but are downright dangerous after a few champagnes.

Ivy Hotel, San Diego: Star Suite
This hotel touts itself as an “adult playground” which I guess should give most people a clue about what to expect. Nothing however really prepares you for the chains, stripper poles and glaring bad taste you find though. The service however is surprisingly good – or so we’re told.
Oh and we should mention too that strippers are part of the rooms service menu!

Mama Shelter, Paris
Mama Shelter’s is kind of the ultimate geek hotel. The rooms come with IMacs, the restaurant has communal digital tables. They also have IBooths run, yes by IMacs, which take photos of you and distribute them on digitial screens throughout the lobby and hotel. That all sounds fun if you’ve got geeky leanings, but the problem is that geeks whilst very intelligent, often lack basic common sense. So without going into too much detail just for a second consider the visual horror of a geeky dork thinking its a good idea to surf the internet sitting on this chair, first thing in the morning prior to getting dressed.
