El Cosmico is the name of the first hotel in the world that uses 3D printing technology in its construction. The property is expected to open in 2024 in Texas.

The former 21-acre venue will be relocated onto a 62-acre land, with new hospitality services provided such as an infinity pool, an open-air spa, and a communal space. Since Liz Lambert has high hopes that the property will become more than just a hotel, the innovative 3D printing technology really adds some awe-inspiring elements to the whole project, whether it’s the dome, vault, or parabolic forms of the architecture.

A new waterfront hotel for Charleston, South Carolina has plans of opening in early 2025.

Heatherwick Studio has unveiled proposals for its first project in Saudi Arabia: the conversion of an old water desalination plant into a museum and arts centre.

More progress from Disney's Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World.

The Great Hall of the Grand Egyptian Museum is now open to the public! When I made this video a few weeks ago there was an event happening which allowed me access inside the entrance and it wasn't fully open, but the Great Hall to the GEM is now open to the public! Keep in mind most of the museum and galleries are still not open, but if you want to at least stand in the Great Hall, see the colossal statue of Rameses ll and a few other ancient artifacts (as well gift shops, restaurants and cafes), you're able to enter!

JW Marriott has announced the opening of JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa in Seogwipo, Jeju. Designed by Bill Bensley, the resort offers 197 guestrooms, including 28 suites, all appointed in natural wood and warm tones. Select rooms have large marble bathtubs for two.

We are delighted to introduce the JW Marriott brand to Jeju island, one of South Korea's most beautiful holiday destinations with its unique culture, history and traditions, as well as its spectacular UNESCO World heritage-listed natural attractions,' said Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott. 'JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa is an architectural masterpiece that exists in harmonious balance with its natural surroundings, and we are confident that this new opening will set a new benchmark for luxury resort offerings in the country.

The resort's remarkable design is by luxury hotel designer Bill Bensley, who took inspiration from the raw natural beauty of Jeju and its farming and fishing traditions to bring the JW Marriott brand philosophy to life. The landscaping is a harmonious fusion of nature and architecture, representing a Jeju island farm complete with low lava stone walls, cabbage fields, and mustard flowers that bloom in springtime in a sea of yellow, a lucky color in Korea.

Inspired by the principles of mindfulness, JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa offers its signature Spa by JW with sauna facilities, and four indoor and outdoor swimming pools fed by the island's volcanic springs.

Set within the contours of the terraced site, this property is designed to work with the land – its shapes and contours, arid climate, brilliant light, rough textures, sloping site, and magnificent views – to create a rare experience that is truly “of the place.” The master plan and design are edited to evoke a curated experience that provides unencumbered views from every single vantage point. This is the driving force behind the design and the defining character of this destination.
