It isn't enough to simply be a [stunning, upscale piece of architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-building-culture) anymore, instead people want novelty as well as something to connect with. The Hotel Liesma does that for the musically inclined. The wooden waves of its exterior are inspired by musical rhythms and the interior design also [celebrates music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orchestra-park). Not to mention that the Hotel Liesma stages both indoors and out in order "to loosen up visitors and make them feel free," according to the designers. Designed by architects Jevgenijs Busins and Liva Banka, the Hotel Liesma's sweeping silhouette is spectacular as well, the perfect draw for those who do not have an affinity towards music. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 76% | 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 - **Themed Architecture:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create unique and immersive experiences by incorporating a specific theme into building designs. - **Experiential Hotels:** Hotels can differentiate themselves by providing guests with immersive and interactive experiences that go beyond traditional accommodation. - **Musical-inspired Design:** Designers can leverage the power of music to create visually striking and aesthetically pleasing architectural elements that resonate with customers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can capitalize on the demand for unique and themed experiences by incorporating music-inspired design elements into their properties. - **Architecture:** Architects can explore opportunities to incorporate themes and narratives into their designs, offering clients memorable and distinctive structures. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can integrate music-themed elements into their projects, creating immersive experiences that cater to clients' preferences and interests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mirrored Facade Concert Halls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jzef-wider-state-music-school.md) - [Musical Vacation Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marriott-bonvoy-1.md) - [Bold Urban Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-hans.md) - [Lakeside Cultural Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isola-della-mus.md) - [Enchanting Folklore-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-bem.md) - [Wood-Cladding Grand Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-emily.md) - [Coconut Wood-Sourced Music Schools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-de-msica.md) - [Invasive Wood Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-elyse-montmartre.md) - [Pyramid-Inspired Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kymaia-hotel.md)
