TWA Hotel (Flight Center)
Eero Saarinen’s 1962 TWA terminal at JFK, restored as a hotel: blood red carpets, stark white tube corridors, a sunken lounge, and the feeling of a departure hall that never fully emptied.
Hotel Krishna, Junagadh
A compact outdoor pool with a row of bright blue slides twirling into the water, has become a well-known image amongst liminal location communities. The small water-park sitting empty under a hard, cloudless sky, has generated a common sense of Anemoia, as if triggering a universal core childhood memory.
The MET Troy *Former Location*
A now-defunct mid-century hotel in Troy, Michigan, whose empty corridors, dated décor and institutional atmosphere made it a popular real-world visual stand-in for Backrooms Level 5 “Terror Hotel”.
Primm Valley Resort & Casino
Stranded on the California–Nevada border, this large casino resort often runs at strikingly low occupancy. Empty parking lots stretch into the desert, and the scale of the public spaces compared with the number of guests creates an unsettling, yet nostalgic sense of a place caught between its intended glamour and quiet decline; like a “forgotten mini-Vegas”, constantly in limbo.
ICEHOTEL
Rebuilt every winter from ice and snow harvested from the Torne River, the ICEHOTEL exists only for a few months before melting back into the landscape. Its silent, fluorescent lit corridors and artist-carved suites feel temporary and fleeting, and like waking up inside of a winter wonderland only ever spoken about in fairytales.
Book And Bed Hotel, Osaka
A bookworm fever dream, where guests sleep in cubbies built into bookshelves, that feel halfway between a library and a capsule hotel.
InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland
Built into a former quarry, this hotel plunges dramatically below ground level, with some rooms looking directly into the water-filled pit.
House in the Clouds
Originally a water tower disguised as a house, this tall, isolated structure rises above the Suffolk landscape like something from a dream or Studio Ghibli film.
The Clown Motel
In the middle of the Nevada desert, the Clown Motel surrounds you with thousands of clown figures, whilst a historic cemetery sits directly next door.
