The Diva Lounge is located in the Boston, Massachusetts suburb of Somerville.
From Studio Luz Architects:
The Diva Lounge is conceived as a sensual escape from the stress of urban life. The walls and ceiling are a cloudlike display of light and form, created using energy efficient LED lighting. Features include custom lounge seating, where patrons literally rub shoulders, and eclectic log bar and bathroom pods that act as mysterious sculptural elements. The space flirts with its users and in doing so amplifies the essence of a lounge experience.

Since we posted about the Qbic low-cost design hotel earlier today, it would only be fair if we also mention another low-cost design hotel in Amsterdam. The citizenM Hotel opened just a few weeks ago, and is located at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. Like Qbic, the citizenM Hotel concept is about providing guests with great contemporary interiors at budget prices. These hotels generally save on costs by having self check-in touch screen terminals and small rooms. Also like Qbic, citizenM has plans for locations all across Europe, and coincidentally already has a second location under construction in Amsterdam’s World Trade Centre district, which also just happens to be where the first Qbic hotel is located. It will be entertaining to watch this rivalry unfold across Europe over the next few years.

Qbic Hotels is a low cost design hotel company that opened its first location in Amsterdam last year, and just today we found a video on YouTube where Richard Quest, the host of CNN Business Traveller, takes us on a tour of the hotel.
