Go Whole Hog

Feisty Developer and His Oddball Inn Stood Apart

In Alex Madonna's world, nothing succeeded quite like excess. His motto was "go whole hog," and he did just that in designing one of the world's most eccentric hotels, with its Pepto-Bismol-pink color scheme and jaw-dropping waterfall urinal in the men's room that drew tittering tourists with cameras.

I believe I saw this in Nest many months ago. See the entire complex, room by room, here.
