Henry:
Hey, we may be cousins, Anthony Wong here!
With both interior design/architecture and travel as my two favorite interests, this is a great thread for me!

I love your specialty; hotel design. It was actually modern hotel designs that got me interested in architecture. When I was young, and I would travel with my family on summer vacations, I would make my family got to the Hyatt Regency Hotel in each city,just to admire the architecture.
Sadly, though, many of those same Hyatt Hotels that were innovative and dazzled the eye in the 70's have not survived the test of time. I think that is due to the insensitivity of hotel interior designers to 'renovate' hotels in the spirit of the original design esthetic. If you look at any of the John Portman - designed Hyatts (or his Marriott Marquis in NY's Time Square) you will see that the interior finishings - floor & wall tratments, color palete, furniture, graphics ; bare no relation to the architectural surroundings.
U.S. hotel interior design seems to have no creativity or flair ( The exception being SOME of the 'W' hotels and the Ian Schrager hotel group). I have found much more creative designs in Australia & Germany.
Oh - and to add to your hotel design flaws:
* Hotels ALWAYS have only ONE luggage rack, so what happens to the 2nd guests luggage? Same with the bathrobes.
Loe to chat with you some more, Henry.
