Apparently this new hotel (opening next month) is designed by 19 famous architects with 30 bedrooms by different designers.
An article I just read in an English Newspaper says that Pablo Couto, (of the Silken Hotel group) asked every famous architect he could think of to devise a scheme for one of the hotel's 12 floors, or for the public rooms.

The place is 'extravagant' - one feature is the lobby bar designed by Marc Newson. The actual bar is made out of a six ton block of marble from Italy and it is truly awesome.

Have a look at the web site : www.hotelpuertamerica.com

One design feature that I personally think is a great pity -- if you open that web site in Firefox it does not work ! Oh and another niggle. The web address is mis spelt and confusing. Puerta and America. ? An A is missing.

hey Nige, they put it under that domain since the http://www.hotelpuertaamerica.com was taken.

i tried it in firefox and there are no scrollbars in the windows so oneis limited to what is there at first load frowner

i have passed the hotel many a time on my way to the airport and back and imho, it is "muy uglyo" die laughing

have not been inside yet but if the outside is any indication, i think i will stay out yuck

to their credit, at least they did not slap it right dab in the middle of the puerta del sol wow

also, if they picked it up and moved it to southbeach it would be much cooler die laughing

just one guy's review.

saludos,
