The PANTONEHOTEL invites you to experience the city of Brussels through a lens of color and a spectrum of comforts. From the moment you arrive, our “hotel of colors” will awaken your senses to an array of delights and playful surprises.
The hotel showcases the color of emotion with a distinctive hue on each guest floor. From vivid to subdued, for business or leisure, our unique boutique hotel perfectly suits your savvy palette and colorful imagination.
From a design perspective, The PANTONEHOTEL, Brussels is built on an exceptional use of contrast; a white canvas provides clean space for saturated colors to pop. Guest rooms feature unique photography by esteemed Belgian photographer Victor Levy.
What would really good is if that instead of hotel swipe cards, you entered your room by swiping the appropriate Pantone chip.

Unless you’ve been away to somewhere very remote you will undoubtedly know about the launch of Apple’s iPad.
Seen by many as nothing more than a big iPhone, I see the iPad will be much, much more than that. Still in it’s infancy, the iPad is in a period of discovery; a quirky plaything for cats seems to be popular at the moment.
American technology magazine Wired are really on the crest of the iPad wave. In its first nine days, the iPad version has sold 73,000 copies, vs. average monthly print news stand sales in the mid-80,000s.
Rather than me try and explain how good the Wired iPad version is, here is a quick presentation:
We could argue all day about the user-experience not being like that of a traditional print magazine, but I don’t think that is the point here. The iPad publication is in a different league and I don’t think the experience can be compared. It will be interesting to see over the coming months whether ‘reader engagement’ is still there and that gimmick doesn’t become a substitute for content. Exciting times for the editorial design world.
