DESCRIPTION:
While the facade is the work of the French architect Jean Nouvel, each of the hotel's 12 floors - from the elevator lobbies down to the blankets and bathrobes - has been conceived by powerhouse architects and design studios, among them Arata Isozaki, Norman Foster, Marc Newson, Ron Arad, Richard Gluckman, Javier Mariscal, Victorio & Lucchino and Zaha Hadid. With public spaces like the Black Tears restaurant designed by Christian Liaigre and the underground garage by Teresa Sapey, the Puerta América can bill itself as "12 floors with 19 stars." With 308 standard rooms, 22 junior suites and 12 suites, the hotel is hardly "boutique," but the mix of design styles is as aesthetically engaging as it is disorienting. The facade, covered with a rainbow of vinyl panels - which are, in fact, a clever system of window screens that modulate incoming light - gives a hint of the diversity inside.
