About

This site is about mostly ignored hotel spaces, the corridors, hallways and staircases. These places are locations which are a transition between the humming public space of reception, lobby or bar and the privacy of the hotel room. Typically they are empty liminal spaces, for the time bewween the "what was" and the "next". They feel abandoned and slightly unsettling but also familiar. Most people ignore these corridors when heading to or from their room, trying to pass by as fast as possible. This space is often viewed as a purely functional piece of the hotel. An in-between where you are and where you want to be.

However, upon closer inspection, these place reveal a beauty of its own beyond pure functionality. Being very similar and quite different at the same time, hotel floors have their very own atmosphere. The long hallways with lots of doors or staircases connecting different floors expose a unique mix of lights, colors and structure. Have a look at the differences and similarities and see how hotel floors look like across a range of hotels.

Liminality is about transforming from one place to another. It moves humans through stages. Without liminality we would be lost in one place, forever. We need these transition zones, move through them. Liminal places are not a destination, they are rather portals inbetween locations we mean to be.

These hotel floors may make us uncomfortable because we are not supposed to stay there. They even may be annoying or fearful. A discomfort inbetween means. A discomforting beauty.
