By far the most stunning of all the new designer hotels (if you approach the hotel at night you will think you suddenly made a wrong turn and found yourself in Miami when it is lit dramatically in changing colors that include magenta, lime, orange and yellow). New York-based British-Egyptian designer Karim Rashid, has created a modern artistic masterpiece with original touches throughout: symbols on room doors instead of numbers, hallways that glow different colors, LCD displays outside the rooms, and an ultra-stylish shoehorn-shaped pool. The hotel also has two popular bars and a great restaurant. The 51 units include 5 pool-side bungalows overlooking a giant waterfall while the suites command exceptional views from their terraces of the bustling city and nearby peaceful and serene Penteli mountain.
