As travelers—and human beings—color serves as a powerful bridge between culture, community, and art, creating a dynamic tapestry that can enrich our travel experiences. The way we think, experience, and remember a place can be shaped by the colors around us and the feelings they evoke. Conventionally luxurious hotels might have their time and place, but there is something to be said about a unique, otherworldly property. Picture this: you wake up to walls in the same vivid shades of a Moroccan souk, or fall into your hotel bed, cushioned by a room modeled after a waterfall in a national park.
When traveling to new destinations around the world, there are specific shades that reflect the spirit of each city. Traveling through the lens of color is to travel intentionally—and means sightseeing doesn’t have to end where you rest your head. When it comes to hotel design for these properties, color is more than just mere decoration. Here are 6 of the most colorful hotels in the world—blending luxury with cultural authenticity through color.
