The Hotel That Lets You Book a Room Based on Feelings
*By Samantha Errico*
A new luxury hotel in St. Louis, Missouri has a room to suit your mood.
The Angad Arts Hotel is a boutique hotel in the Arts District of St. Louis and features a slate of rooms colored to compliment guests' moods ー green for rejuvenation, yellow for happiness, red for passion, blue for tranquility.
"Traditionally, hotels are designed to meet everyone's needs so they are in neutral colors. We thought rather than be neutral colors, lets really saturate the rooms in color," Steve Smith, CEO of The Lawrence Group, told Cheddar Friday.
Along with choosing the color, guests are able to select the size of their rooms ー S, M, L, XL, and XXL.
Smith renovated a historic theater building, which was originally home to the iconic Rockettes before they relocated to Radio City Music Hal in Manhattan, N.Y.
The colors aren't the only quirk: the hotel's lobby is located on the 12th floor and the front door leads to the back of the building.
According to Smith, the space was also designed to showcase digital art installations constructed by local talent.
"We think about art in seeing the world in a different way and so we challenged ourselves with every design aspect of this hotel," Smith said.

Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
