Travel and Leisure Design Awards 2011

Great design is intelligence made visible, but great travel design must take this idea to the next level -- it can't just look pretty, it has to combine functionality, strength, and ease of use. Those of us who travel do NOT have time for things that don't work, aren't strong, and don't make our lives easier while on the road.

For seven years, the Travel + Leisure Design Awards have rewarded companies, products, hotels, innovators, and innovations of every type with recognition and gratitude in making the travelers lives better and their travel expereience more memorable. In addition, an overall Design Champion is named.

"The 2011 Design Awards underscore and celebrate the significant impact that good design has on travel," said Nancy Novogrod, Editor-In Chief of Travel + Leisure. "Our judges are not T+L Editors. The jurors look for exceptional function, unqiue statement and inventive reinterpretation."

Best Large Hotel: The Yas Hotel  in Abu Dhabi,UAE, is set half on land and half on water, overlooking the Yas Marina & Yacht Club and positioned on the Yas Marina Circuit, which plays host to the annual Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

I Love Belgium - Belgian Hotel Reviews

Brussels has a Pantone Hotel, and it’s a world wide exclusive! Pantone’s claim to fame began 45 years ago with its revolutionary color matching system that allowed designers to reproduce accurate color anywhere in the world. Today the company is branching out and moving into lifestyle- oriented industries using the same color numbering system.

As the company began expanding, Pantone decided to construct a hotel as part of the new “Pantone Universe” campaign. For this they revamped a sixties building in uptown Brussels. Designed by Michel Penneman and Oliver Hannaert, the hotel fully embodies the company, as “the hotel of colors… showcases the color of emotion with a distinctive hue on each colorous guest floor.”



From a design perspective, The Pantone Hotel is built on an exceptional use of contrast, a white canvas provides clean space for saturated colors to pop. Each room is decorated in one of seven color palettes: “earthy, rich” “daring, fiery” “vibrant, intense” “cheerful, warm” “captivating, esteemed, silky” “fresh, eager” and “tranquil, aquatic, exhilarating”. Guest rooms feature unique photography by esteemed Belgian photographer Victor Levy. While BaseDesign did the logo and identity for the Hotel, referring the iconic Pantone chip.

The Pantone Hotel’s official launch and opening party is scheduled for June 24. But don’t worry, you can immediately sleep in as the rooms are affordable. Hotel deal sites are already listing them at well under €100/night, a fine deal for uptown Brussels. That’s why the I Love Belgium team decided to go for some colour therapy. Being it in one of the 59 rooms or on the summer rooftop terrace for a Pink Champagne Pantone 12-1107.
