A recent trend in hotel architecture and design has shown the surrounding environment to have a strong influence on the exterior design of a hotel. Recently there has been an effort on the part of the architect to seamlessly blend the façade of the hotel with the cityscape of the surrounding community. It has been important to the architects to maintain the 'vibe' of the atmosphere. Because of this continuity the interior design has taken a different direction, making an effort to surprise the guest when they walk into the doors. More and more interiors are becoming their very own ''wonderlands'', a world different from the streets outside. We saw this in the case of the nHow Berlin -and while Yatzer doesn’t play favorites, one wonders if this trend is here to stay. In a natural progression in playing around with this concept of letting the outside in, or keeping the outside on the outside, relationships between the hotel and its surrounding neighborhood is currently one of great weight. THE EXCHANGE Hotel in Amsterdam spun the idea and decided to incorporate local artists and brought in the brilliant students at the nearby Amsterdam Fashion Institute. The hotel gave the students the opportunity to 'dress' the rooms, each student responsible for designing the rooms.
