I was just having a five minute tea break—of which I probably have too many—and happened across this site for the Pantone™ Hotel in Brussels. Not sure quite what I make of it, but I do find it incredibly intriguing. Are Pantone™ actually on a mission to take over the world? Will they beat Richard Branson, Rupert Murdoch, Steve Jobs et al to the punch? Seems like they might be on course:
“The PANTONE HOTELTM is part of the new PANTONE UNIVERSE, an expanding line of colorful, design-driven products to touch and tempt consumers.”
If anyone’s going to Brussels any time soon, why not book into Pantone™ and let us all know what you think?

Brussels is spot on, we stayed in hotel bloom http://www.hotelbloom.com/ which was a treat. They seem to be pretty clued up on swanky hotels do the Belgians!
Although I’m not too sure how I feel about this Pantone Universe?

Insane! I was impressed by the Pantone Swatch Watch collection but this is amazing!

It’s interesting but I don’t think it’s for me.

anyone else disappointed by the website?
Pantone universe?! definitely too far.
The idea of more pretentious design savvy hipsters going to this hotel to boast to their friends and post pictures on their facebook makes me wretch.
I also require continental pillows if I’m paying for luxurious bedding.

I second Hotel Bloom,
Each room has a unique mural on the wall surrounding the headboard of the bed with a description about the meaning, who painted it.. etc..
The Hotel Bar and breakfast room design was beyond amazing! By far the best hotel I’ve stayed in!
Also, I swear they had scent blown through the aircon in the lobby, it smelt amazing!
But, yeah… PANTONE Hotel… I just don’t get the big deal tbh

It’s like some sort of Pantone hell.
