Those who like to travel, probably choose their place to stay seriously. For someone, the hotel should be simple and cheap, while others want the room to be luxurious and glamorous.
Born from glossy publications, the concept of glamor continues to exist as a social phenomenon with a visual form designed to follow, but devoid of a clear internal content.
However, there are some basic principles of glamorous style – luxury and brilliance. The hotels below are a great example of their use in the interior.
If you are an admirer of this style, you can rent a glamorous car and go to one of them. In the USA, Avis at Love Field Airport will provide you with an excellent choice of cars. Of course, this also applies to other parts of the world where car rental is a very convenient way of moving.
Well, where to go in order to find a glamorous hotel?
