The newly revealed living room at the W Mexico hotel invites guests and world travelers to hang out in a space that is full of various visually stimulating design pieces. As soon as a guest walks into the lobby they are immediately greeted with an upside down glass pyramid that is reminiscent of Mexico's Mayan culture. The glass pyramid is filled with heart-shaped purple neon lights that are visually striking against the theatrical drama masks located near the base. Guests are invited to hang out and even grab a drink at the hotel's [exclusive tequila bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-sun). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Theatrical Hotel Lobbies:** Hotels are incorporating theatrical and mysterious aesthetics into their lobbies to visually stimulate their guests and enhance their overall experience. - **Optical Illusions in Design:** Designers are incorporating optical illusions to captivate and engage the viewers and make the space more interactive. - **Cultural Influences in Design:** Designers are incorporating cultural influences such as Mayan art to bring a unique and immersive experience to the guests. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can incorporate theatrical and mysterious aesthetics and cultural influences to enhance the guests' experience and leave a lasting impression. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use optical illusions and cultural influences for a visually stimulating and immersive experience in their designs. - **Tourism:** Tourism industry can learn from the incorporation of cultural influences and theatrical aesthetics to create unique experiences that allow guests to explore different cultures and regions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pyramid-Inspired Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kymaia-hotel.md) - [Brutalist Mexican Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutalist-mexican-hotel.md) - [Subterranean Social Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel.md) - [Revitalized Retro Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-los-monteros-hotel.md) - [Retro Nightlife-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-chteau-deau.md) - [Industrial Converted Hotel Lobbies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacalan-block.md) - [U-Shaped Atrium Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-volga.md) - [Enchanting Folklore-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-bem.md) - [Hospitality Drink Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-west-hollywood-edition.md)
