Scheduled to open in May 2011, Bella Sky is just six months away from its anticipated debut in Copenhagen, Denmark. The spectacular hotel was designed by architects 3XN and dons a unique design that will certainly make it stand out in the Copenhagen skyline. Read on for more images and information after the break.

3XN has developed a design that allows for an unconventional approach to hotel design.   The design restrictions of its vicinity to the airport limited the height to 75 meters, or 23 stories. Instead, two towers were developed to accomodate the client’s needs.  A 15 degree incline is incorporated into the two towers, allowing the designers to create a variation of 200 rooms, providing a unique and diverse hotel experience for the users. The two towers lean away from one another to provide each room with an unobstructed view of the city. The incline creates a 20 meter slope difference between the ground floor and the top floor, which required construction workers to undergo special training to abseil down the building and mount the façade.
