Mandarin Oriental – Tokyo
The lobby of this hotel defies tradition and unlike lobbies that are normally on the ground level, this lobby is located on the uppermost two floors of the 38 storey hotel giving a bird’s eye view of downtown Tokyo.

Four Seasons George V – Paris
This lobby might not match up to the scale of other hotel lobbies, but the stunning floral arrangements and displays in the lobby gets this hotel visitors from all around the world. The hotel is believed to spend 1 million pounds per year on the flowers that deck up the lobby day after day. Besides the beautiful flowers the 18th century antiques makes one feel like you are walking through a museum. The glittering Florence chandelier and the spectacular bronze sculptures in the lobby make the ambience extravagant and luxurious.
ITC Grand Chola Hotel – Chennai
Probably one of the most impressive lobbies, with a grand sweeping marble stairway which is lined on either side with sari clad staff members to greet all their visitors. The musicians playing soft traditional music in the background, the huge crystal chandelier, the symmetrical pillars, the fresh flowers and the hand carved marble makes you take a second look at the grandeur of this lobby.
Me London – London
Quite an innovative and interesting lobby where the reception area is contained within a pyramid like space that is capped by a glass roof. Every night different graphics are projected on the walls from jellyfish to starscapes to expanding grids giving the lobby a new look every night. With its contemporary designs and sleek neat lines this lobby has a smart and chic look.
