Madrid Has A Wacky Hotel That Reminds Us Of The Lloyd

A few months or years (who can tell anymore?) ago, we junketeered our way over to Amsterdam and stopped off at the Lloyd Hotel, an old building that had been entirely repurposed by a bunch of hot young architects and designers (Hella Jongerius, Claudy Jongstra, and the very tall Marcel Wanders) into a one-to-five star hotel with completely different rooms and styles (some of them with eight-person beds, yeah, all right). Turns out the Lloyd was just the beginning of what Madrid’s 342-room $92 million Hotel Puerta America looks to be, if not the end, a very big step of.
