This hotel was originally built in 1990, but the suites have been updated to embody what a modern-day Mykonian room would look like with some distortion. The rooms follow simple concepts with fluid and clear lines, but guests feel an element of confusion because the wall dimensions and furniture are both unaligned. Each room has crooked lines of pebbles through the floor and walls, and bamboo that lines the ceiling, closet and walls. This creates a calming environment amidst the sandy beaches and rocky desert terrain of Mykonos. After re-designing the rooms, KLab imparted a new, luxurious sense into the space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unaligned Room Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing hotel rooms with purposely unaligned dimensions and furniture to create a unique and unconventional guest experience. - **Twisted Interior Concepts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implementing distorted design elements such as crooked lines of pebbles and bamboo lining to add an element of confusion and intrigue to hotel room interiors. - **Luxury in Unexpected Places:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transforming unconventional locations into luxury destinations by redesigning spaces with modern and luxurious touches. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating unconventional and distinctive room designs to enhance the guest experience and differentiate hotels from competitors. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experimenting with twisted interior concepts to create unique and visually stimulating environments in various spaces, such as hotels, restaurants, and retail stores. - **Travel and Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing luxury and high-end experiences in unexpected and unconventional travel destinations to attract adventurous and experiential travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shapeshifting Outer Space Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acromnia-orbital-hotel.md) - [Earthy Tonal Coastal Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylos-hotel.md) - [Pyramid-Inspired Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kymaia-hotel.md) - [Cut-Out Structural Narrow Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-rakuragu.md) - [Tranquil Secluded Retreat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brecon.md) - [Exotically Refurbished Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelican-hotel.md) - [Nautical Themed Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-containers.md) - [Whimsically Designed Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowley-manor-experimental.md) - [Sculptural Concrete Hotel Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeping-lab.md)
