The unusual facade of the Hilton London Metropole seems to bend the laws of space. It is one of the largest hotels in Europe and can accomodate about 3,000 people in its conference space. It contains over 1,000 rooms and can dine about 2,000. The Metropole is centrally located in London, nearby Hyde park.

The conference center was an addition to the building completed in 2000. It was designed by HOK architects who are known for innovation in the field of architecture. In 2004 they partnered with the Biomimcry Guild to bring more sustainable solutions to their work.

If you are unfamiliar with Biomimicry, it’s a fascinating field of study that seeks to bring elements from nature to solve today’s human problems.
