Hotels and hotel rooms revisited

[Out to Lunch]

The DicStar Hotel in Vung Tau, a minute before a ferocious monsoon downpour.




The Seabreeze Hotel on the Front Beach in Vung Tau. The first Australian-Vietnamese hotel joint venture in that town. They picked an excellent name and a great location and did
everything else wrong: the rooms were overpriced, too small and the food was bad. They went out of business real fast.

I find the shared visual language of hotels to be really intriguing. There is something that is both universal and alien about them. All these images are from different hotels in different countries and I feel as if many could be put together to form a seamless room that dislocates you around the globe.

I'd have to agree with Henry.



A room with a view. Arriving late at night at this hotel in Vienna, Austria. When I opened the curtains the next morning, for a split
second, I thought I was in the wrong country.

This is perfect because I found this image from a place I stayed at in Paris years ago:

Out to Lunch, It's hard to fathom that someone got paid for their 'decorating' skill "Friendship Hotel"

Yep, pretty typical in the hood! Nice shot Doug, though we've been cracking 30C/ 86 F this week.

Thanks! That's warm... This was September 27th and I was tickled to see folks enjoying the hot tub in the snow! Nice place to stay too.
