Amy Shao, a recent graduate of the Royal College of Art, has proposed a new conversion of a central London hospital, which would transform the former medical space into the unique Herbalist Hotel. Treating guests with herbs sprouting from the roof, ceiling, and walls, this new hotel aims to use the plants to treat Londoners suffering from stress-related illnesses. According to Shao, the Herbalist Hotel will allow patrons to "ease the tension of life by having fun and learning about herbs."
The Herbalist Hotel will feature a collection of suites themed around different herbs and their respective health benefits -- for example a calming lavender room would help improve sleep, while a eucalyptus room would nurse immune systems. The hotel would also give patrons a chance to visit a lab-like room where herbs can be cultivated indoors.
