THE SYLAR HOTEL

Sylar, located in a former casino, combines science (SY),
resort life (L) and art (AR). The redesign of the hotel
required extensive study of social, technological and sci-
entific trends. In interactive playgrounds in the hotel’s
Launch Pad, guests discover trends in science and enter-
tainment. The buffet, P-Dish, offers 3-D printed food, bio-
luminescent treats, hydroponic herbal gardens and liquid
test-tube drinks. Meandering guests consider where food
comes from and how it is made.
Sylar’s spa features a bioluminescent salt water pool, sea-
weed detoxification pool, “doctor fish” pool for dead-skin
removal, a snail pool to soften and heal skin, snail facials
and snake massages. Sounds in Oscillation, a dance club,
result from magnetic fields.
The design of the club amplifies these sounds, and guests
choose from indoor and outdoor experiences. The guest
rooms, which are powered by a wall that reacts to the sun,
have three zones: a brain sensory bed, a dual technology
center, and a bio-growth station.
