Take 14 row homes in a European urban center, join them all together with a team of architects, designers, and property owner with a modern slant and what you get is the Fusion Hotel.

The idea of the open bath in the room has been around for a few years now. The Hotel Adagio in San Francisco pulls the concept off nicely in some of their rooms. When designed properly the look is very rich and luxurious.

A peek of the room...

The look can also fail. I've seen some bad examples that make you wonder what a bed is doing in the middle of a bathroom. The Fusion manages to pull off the design as it blends the modern decor and layout into the mix of new and rustic rooms. Why not soak in the tub while chatting with your significant other laying in bed? It's not a bad thing.

The rest of the hotel is quite nice as well - The pool

The Japanese restaurant - Japo

The ladies loo - Dig the gold leafed stalls...
