Here we were thinking that innovative hotel designs only work for the likes of Barcelona, but there’d be no chance of seeing them in hearty old London. And then we read this article about the latest hotel in the pipeline for the capital: the so-called "Whirlpool Hotel."
The Whirlpool Hotel is as yet unnamed but is being planned by US billionaire Stan Thomas, who's just won planning permission to build a £150m hotel in a vacant building in Trinity Square, opposite the Tower of London. And in the middle of the hotel, he’s going to build a courtyard, garden and a whopping glass atrium, which will look like a whirlpool from above.
