Architecture Stays.
Discover hotels where the building is the main event
Architecture Stays is our edit of hotels where the building is the main event. Think statement silhouettes, heritage conversions done brilliantly, and design details that make you stop mid-scroll. We keep this list intentionally tight — only truly architecture-forward stays make the cut.

Iconic skyline-defining architecture (and arguably one of the most recognisable and photographed modern hotel silhouettes in the world).

Hotel Marqués de Riscal
Elciego, Spain

The Silo Hotel
Cape Town, South Africa
★★★★★
An exceptional masterclass in adaptive reuse — industrial geometry turned into one of the world’s most striking design hotels.

Parador de Granada
Granada, Spain
