Hot-Stepping Hallways

Take a step into this hotel corridor, and you might just second-guess your footing. With a carpet patterned in a mesmerizing red spiral, it’s a visual trick that turns a simple walk to your room into an impromptu game of “The Floor is Lava.”

The playful illusion is so convincing that you’d half expect to see guests leaping from furniture to furniture, avoiding the molten “magma” below. This photo captures the whimsical side of hotel design, where even the floor can spark joy. It shows that adventure can be found in the most unexpected places, sometimes right under your feet.
