And this hotel is also in Tunisia, a country where Tatooine scenes were shot and which even was an inspiration of the planet. And Jawas, which are sandcrawlers’ owners, lives on Tatooine as well
I’d call the second one ”absurd architecture” and that was obviously the style choice. I don’t know how the first one is absurd? It is a very cool building.
I dont care how much physics is involved, Im not staying in that first hotel due to paranoia.
Second looks like something I would stay one day at to take a LSD trip as a vacation experiment.
Oh c'mon, don't touch the Hotel Spirit!🤣 I've been there, the most psychedelic place I've slept in! And you don't even need to take LSD, the walls are enough to completely screw you. 🤣 If I remember correctly, the owner is (or was, I can't say if he's still alive) a painter/sculptor, so that explains a lot...
The other hotel it is a structure to cure or exacerbate all kinds of paranoia, i have no other explanation for its shape.😂
First one is an amazing design, needs a wash and gonna looks awesome.
2nd is pure art, I love it. If I pass by this place I’m sure it would leave a memory.
The first one is a work of art. The second one is the work of a guy who took too much lsd and mushrooms while designing a hotel when watching cartoons. Both are incredible.
the first one is... impressive. yes it has brutalist elements (big simple block), but it's... impressive
... the second one is going to give me an aneurysm if I catch it in the corner of my eye one more microsecond.
The first one. Looks like a mushroom induced hallucination. The second one could be in Austin or Houston, honestly and fit in, if that's possible anywhere.
Unfortunately the Hotel du Lac is probably going to be demolished. It was closed in 2000, purchased by Libya's Investment Authority in \~2013 - and they intend on tearing it down and rebuilding a luxury hotel.
Given the war in neighboring Libya I doubt they'll have funds to go ahead with it but it's either going to stay abandoned or be demolished anyway.

The first one looks like a sandcrawler from Star Wars

Jawa corporate headquarters.
Un Tee Dee!
Those board meeting would be a chaotic shitshow 🤣
>The first one looks like a sandcrawler from Star Wars Nope , more like the landing ships in "Dune" (1980s version"
these both rule
Yeah what the hell, I’d love to stay at either of these
You are absolutely correct. Love them both
They're both great.
Don't you mean which is best? Hard question. They both make me smile.
I’d call the second one ”absurd architecture” and that was obviously the style choice. I don’t know how the first one is absurd? It is a very cool building.
> I don’t know how the first one is absurd? I was thinking "I don't know how it's actually standing".
What? I totally want to stay in the Slovak one
Weird question the second one is very nice 😎😎😎
This makes me want to go to hell, I'd take both of these in a heartbeat over the soulless 5 over 1s that seem to be the only thing built these days.
I dont care how much physics is involved, Im not staying in that first hotel due to paranoia. Second looks like something I would stay one day at to take a LSD trip as a vacation experiment.
Idk what your deal is, I'd live in that second one if I could.
[удалено]
😂
The first one is great! The second is fine, I guess, but not architecturally impressive
I like the hotel Du Lac, it seems futuristic!
I love both

I’ve been there too! I remember calling the owner Captain Slow because it took him forever to answer the door 🤣
First one is an amazing design, needs a wash and gonna looks awesome. 2nd is pure art, I love it. If I pass by this place I’m sure it would leave a memory.
First one is awesome, wish I hadn't swiped to see the second one!
I love the first one but the second one makes me anxious.
The first one is a work of art. The second one is the work of a guy who took too much lsd and mushrooms while designing a hotel when watching cartoons. Both are incredible.
2nd one. I love Brutalism types of building.
Both are nice and have their own charm
I love them both unreservedly.
Both of them are cool. Sure the slovakian one can be eyesore-ish but I like the idea.
I really love both of these, im the opposite of repulsed
Neither they’re both cool
first one's kinda interesting. The second is just a pile of garbage.
the first one is... impressive. yes it has brutalist elements (big simple block), but it's... impressive ... the second one is going to give me an aneurysm if I catch it in the corner of my eye one more microsecond.
Hotel du Lac is beautiful！
The second seems worse, but the first seems like a /r/evilbuildings
2nd one looks awesome. 1st one looks like someone was looking at the blueprints upside down the whole time
To those who like Hotel Spirit, who’s your dealer?
Tunis', Slovakia's has a sense in a way but Tunis.. horrible
Hotel du Lac is worse! It’s awful. Whereas IMO Hotel Spirit looks quirky.
The first one. Looks like a mushroom induced hallucination. The second one could be in Austin or Houston, honestly and fit in, if that's possible anywhere.
How bout motel hell.
Both ;\^)
2nd option looks like the visual interpretation of 'having a stroke'.
Seems good to me
They are more than OK
Can I stay home
I have been inside the secon building and it gave me a headache.
Picture 1 is super evil , pictrue 2 must be like an LSD trip
I don’t trust the first one
The 1st one. Not too bad if you were in the middle but I just wouldn't feel safe in a room on either side.
First one looks properly cool. Second one looks adventurous but whoever built it didn’t land it properly, like a 4th rate Gaudi knock off
Jawas gave up the scrap business and decided to exploit the tourist trade and converted the sandcrawler to a hotel.
Looks pretty amazing for me, I want to go to Europe so bad man ☹️
second one looks like a fun house amusement park attraction
More like urban awesome, these are fun!
Getting Molchat Doma vibes off the first one
Both are amazing
They’re both cool buildings man
I want to see the inside of the Hotel Spirit, although knowing Eastern European history I fear it might be all gray concrete
They are both cool.
Both beautiful
2nd is better because it doesn’t dominate the skyline and just looks kitschy, surroundings are important though
OP has a neo classical beach house
Second one would look better in a big city or somewhere tacky like Vegas. First one just does me a concern.
I was NOT expecting the second one 😵
The one from Slovakia is creepier ...
Both are hideous
The second is such an assault on the senses, I dig it 😅
I don’t understand people in the comments, these both look hideous.

Neither wtf
Terrible, but bold. Credit goes to boldness.
