Hotel Puerta America is a thing of design and beauty.  Next time you are in Madrid, Spain, book your night here.

Hotel Puerta America is a new radical design hotel in Madrid (Spain) and it was
conceived as an architectural showcase, with individual floors fitted-out by different
world-renowned architects, including Foster and Partners, Zaha Hadid, John Pawson,
and Ushida Findlay. The Foster vision for the second floor was inspired by the work
of the late Basque sculptor, Eduardo Chillida, who was a personal friend of both the
client and Lord Foster. Chillida’s work explored natural materials, organic forms, and
an architectural sense of space. The hotel has 13 floors with 30 rooms, 1200 sqm per
floor. Plasma Studio has been commissioned for the fourth floor.
