Radisson SAS Hotel London Stansted Airport doesn't just offer wireless internet access, meeting space, three restaurants, a health club and 500 rooms a two-minute walk from the airport's main terminal -- it also features a 13 meter-tall "Wine Tower" that holds 4000 bottles of wine, reports Hospitality Net.

The hotel has provided even more new jobs to the area than expected, since it now needs more than just bartenders:

A high-speed computer controlled winch system transports 'wine angels' up and down the tower to retrieve chosen bottles of wine before delivering them safely to the tables, providing a constantly moving backdrop to the light and airy space. Central to the restaurant is the striking hotel bar.

Check out the article for some great photography of the Wine Tower (oh, and the hotel).
