Hotel Clepsydra

Located in Las Vegas, NV, Hotel Clepsydra was designed to provide its patrons with the unique opportunity to experience all seasons--Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter--at the same time.

The floor plan consists of four equal quarters (one for each of the seasons) positioned around a circular casino --representative of the annual cycle.  Seasonally-neutral spaces, such as the casino, draw inspiration from the inner workings of a grandfather clock -- which decends from the clepsydra, the ancient time telling device after which the hotel is named.

In addition to the distinctly decorated guest suites, each season boasts an attraction designed to enhance its own unique atmosphere.
