Abstract
Just a little over a year ago hinge devoted a large cover story to new hotel design from around Asia and the world. So why would we decide to go back to the same old story so soon? Well, for one thing, because it's a fun topic. For another, with hotel deisgn the story never has time to grow old, because the field moves so fast. You can visit any major city, particularly in Asia, every three of four months and undoubtedly notice at least a couple of a major new hotel projects completed. That includes revamps and renovations and so on, but so be it. If it looks different, it is different, at least as far as hotel design goes.
