Semiramis Hotel, Greece

What do you get if you combine accommodation with art, and throw a little Athenian magic into the mix?  The answer is the Semiramis Hotel, the brainchild of industrial designer, Karim Rashid.

If you’re not a fan of pastel hues then this may not be the hotel for you!  For here, pinks, yellows and lilacs almost chase you around via the changing, sound-proof walls and rotating art exhibition.

Not an inch of space in the Semiramis could be described as dull, from the stunning swimming pool to the individual room symbols, used instead of numbers.  Even the shampoo bottles are the work of Rashid!  He has designed it all and it couldn’t be more wonderful if it tried.
