I am still working on my piece about holidaying in modernist buildings. I have expanded it to include hotels, such as the Radisson Blu Royal SAS Hotel, Copenhagen.
And I know the Langham will be opening soon in Chicago in the Mies designed IBM building.
Any other suggestions?
Stephen

Loews (PSFS) Philadelphia
This hotel is in the old PSFS building, considered by most historians to be the first international style skyscraper built in the U.S. Designed by William Lescaze and George Howe. Be sure to check out the old board rooms on the top floor. Free to wander at will.

Gehry's wonderful hotel in the Rioja region of Northern Spain.
Lovely.

I like for it's sheer audacity and what it stands for
It's not to my taste, but I admire Gehry for his vision and ability to break away from the norm, and what is expected.
Architectire in the UK in particular is so regimented, many builings like this would never be granted permission by local authorities, especially in London. I would love to see more architecture like Gehry's in the UK, just to add a bit of drama and colour.

I'd love to see Archigram given more freedom
Their projects such as The Kunsthaus Graz never cease to amaze me.
