If ever a place for efficient space, it’s a hotel room. Compact, user-friendly and easy to upkeep, hotel rooms are always an inspirational source for rearranging your furniture.
Whether you’re paying for a stay or just stealing ideas, here’s a look at few of the hippest little rooms on the market.

Mama Shelter is just round the corner from me! Great hotel too, always recommend it to friends coming to stay :)
I think half of them would keep me awake with the loud walls, the other half are kind of boring.
Can someone identify the table lamps in the Ace hotel images 1-3
I had mixed feelings about the one in Das Park. The concrete and circular enclosure of a room brought out the claustrophobia in me I didn't think I had.
The Motel 6 makeover was a nice change!

IMO, most of the rooms shown are either stark and sterile or over-the-top kitschy. In either case, nobody I know could live in them for significant periods of time...
In addition, many hotel rooms are still relatively large spaces - some of which are intended to sleep 4.
For some real tiny/small-space inspiration - for function, clever storage solutions, and asthetics that won't drive you crazy inside of a week - look to the cabins of modern cruise ships.

I agree - way to busy!
As someone who stays in more than 50 hotels a year I love the look of The Westin Hotels. Clean lines, modern without being "to cool" (like the ones above) and the bed.
Definitely creative and modern, but a little too LOUD for my taste! I like the wall decal in the Mama Shelter room, though
Absolute design disasters !!! big NO on those .
