The space is the design work of the team at ZAS Architects and the 47-storey building will offer a virtual rainforest for visitors to experience in a way that incorporates animation and 3D-projections. The hotel is aiming to offer a futuristic and tech-saturated stay to guests that includes entertainment facilities, 360-degree panoramic views and activity arenas that include sports such as trampolining, laser tag and bowling. The front lobby will house the simulated rainforest, presented as projected animations rendered in 3D design across both the floor, walls and ceiling. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Experiences:** The rise of simulated and virtual experiences in hotels presents an opportunity for businesses to create immersive environments for guests. - **Tech-saturated Hospitality:** The integration of technology into hospitality industry provides an avenue for innovation in creating futuristic and interactive experiences for guests. - **Entertainment-focused Accommodations:** The incorporation of entertainment facilities in hotels, such as trampolining, laser tag, and bowling, offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to attract adventurous and experiential travelers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hotel industry can leverage simulated and virtual experiences to enhance guest satisfaction and differentiate themselves from competitors. - **Architecture and Design:** The demand for creating innovative and immersive environments, like artificial forests, in hotels creates opportunities for architects and designers to showcase their creativity and expertise. - **Entertainment:** The integration of entertainment facilities within hospitality settings opens up new possibilities for the entertainment industry to expand its reach and tap into a new customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Coastal Hotel Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicon.md) - [Shapeshifting Outer Space Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acromnia-orbital-hotel.md) - [AI-Backed Hotel Complexes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otonomus-hotel.md) - [Immersive Holographic Zoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hologram-zoo.md) - [Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-shangri-la.md) - [Mangrove Forest-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/once-upon-a-forest.md) - [3D-Printed Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-hotel.md) - [Tranquil Suspended Hanging Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ardh-architect.md) - [Hotel-Based Garden Terraced Columns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pan-pacific-orchard.md)
