Lunar-inspired hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is not a country that is usually top on the list for people desperately wanting a vacation, but they’re working on a concept hotel that may draw attention and interest. Although it’s designed in such a way that it changes appearance depending on the angle, from the front it looks remarkably like the Death Star from Star Wars, and I have to say that if I did end up needing to travel there for some reason, I would totally want to stay in the Death Star hotel!
Seriously, look at this thing!
(Technically, they’re saying the design is lunar-inspired, but come on. Go check it out and tell me, TELL ME that’s not a Death Star. Anyone who has seen Star Wars would surely agree.)
I have no idea if it will actually get built or not but it’s pretty damn cool anyway.

[…] The Geeky Traveleも感心しているようだ。 アゼルバイジャンは人びとが是が非でも休暇を過ごしたいと思うような国ではないけど、注目を引いて興味そそるようなコンセプトホテルに着手しようとしている。角度によってその姿が変わるように設計されているけど、正面からはスター・ウォーズのデス・スターに酷似している。もし何かの理由であそこに行かなければいけなくなったら、絶対にデス・スター・ホテルに泊まりたいね！ […]
