The best-designed hotels vying for Dezeen's architecture prize
From a cave complex in Santorini to a very hip PET RESORT in Portugal: The incredible hotels vying for a prestigious architecture prize
- The Dezeen Awards identify the ‘most outstanding work’ in architecture, interiors and design
- One category honours incredible architecture by focusing on hospitality buildings, including stunning hotels
- Longlisted in this category is a chic hotel in Costa Rica, a former bank in Tokyo and a futuristic Chinese resort
When it comes to cutting-edge design, these slick hotels hit the right note.
They have all been longlisted in the hospitality architecture category at the prestigious Dezeen Awards 2020.
The list includes a very hip pet retreat for dogs and cats in Portugal, a cave complex in Santorini with dreamy views, a futuristic high-end resort in China and a hotel blending ‘Swedish minimalism’ with ‘Japanese heritage design’ in Tokyo’s financial district.
Now in its third year, the awards, run by architecture and design website Dezeen, identify ‘the world’s best architecture, interiors and design’, as well as the studios, architects and designers producing ‘the most outstanding work’.
A jury comprising a panel of international architects, designers and academics will whittle the longlist down to a shortlist, which will be announced in September.
Scroll down to see some of the jaw-dropping properties that are in the running for the grand prize...
