After reading about the Hollywood mansion that Graft architects Lars Krückeberg, Wolfram Putz and Thomas Willemeit designed for Brad Pitt, hotel owner Wolfgang Loock knew immediately that Graft would be the ideal firm to realize his vision for Q!. Combining fluid organic shapes and functional contemporary design, Graft’s design is wildly futuristic, seductively comfortable and unlike any hotel you’re likely to have come across before.

An exercise in the ultra-modern, Q! is all about curvilinear shapes (’cos right-angles are for idiots stupid!), incandescent red lighting and a little hint of retro glamour to soften the space-age blow. And if a wander through the communal spaces hasn’t dazzled or baffled your senses in equal measure then the guestrooms will gladly take up the challenge with their integrated bed-and-bath combos that express the unity of form and function—apparently. A veritable victory for the man who wishes he could be bathed in bed every day.
