Music lovers and enthusiasts will enjoy the $1.5 billion expansion to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in South Florida. Guests will be able to stay in a hotel that’s shaped like a giant body of a guitar. The structure is lit with neon lights and can be seen from the air by passengers coming to the nearby Fort Lauderdale International airport. The structure itself is made of aqua-glass tones that reflect sunlight during the day. Inside, you won’t be able to recognize that you’re inside of a massive guitar, but you will be awed by the memorabilia and iconic ode to rock and roll that has become synonymous with the Hard Rock brand.

Artist, Laurence Gartel whose work is featured in the hotel gave his initial impression of the hotel, “I think it’s unbelievable. It’s fun; it’s different; it’s exciting; it’s pop culture. It’s all the things I think make art and architecture enjoyable.”
