Sven Laurent/Courtesy of Pantone Hotel
Best Hotel (Fewer Than 100 Rooms)
Pantone Hotel, Brussels
Designed by Michel Penneman (interiors) and Olivier Hannaert (exterior)
It’s a gimmick, but it works: this 61-room hotel features one distinctive Pantone color per floor, ranging from vivid to more subdued. The Pantone Hotel is built on contrasts; white walls provide a blank canvas for saturated colors to pop. At the shop are Pantone products of all sorts, from furniture to iPhone cases. Doubles from $120.
From the Jury
“Pantone is clever, but not ‘cute,’ exactly what a small hotel should be.” —David Childs
