Adam Tihany: Joule Pool Design Selected as World’s Best for Business Travelers

Adam Tihany’s pool design for The Joule Hotel in Dallas took top mention for Best Hotel Pool for Business Week magazine’s Best for Business Traveler selections. We’ve written about Adam’s designs for The Joule and other properties before, but if there’s a hotter hotel and restaurant designer in the world today, we cannot think of them.

Here are the comments about Adam’s Joule pool design and the runners-up :

Hotel Pool
The Joule, Dallas is currently undergoing a $78 million overhaul that’s scheduled to be completed by fall. One thing that should remain unchanged: the rooftop Joule Poule. Its canti-levered glass design, by Adam Tihany, makes you feel as if you’re swimming beyond the hotel’s edge, like a waterborne Wile E. Coyote, and the cabana beds are perfect for lounging with smoothies and snacks from chef Charlie Palmer.

Runners-up: In Beijing, the infinity pool at the China World Summit Wing stands out with views from floor-to-ceiling windows on the 78th floor of the China World Tower (the city’s tallest building), not to mention underwater music. In Paris, the subterranean pool at the Mandarin Oriental offers a Zen-like escape from the city above, with extra-high ceilings and a waterfall.
