All in Architect
Neuhardenberg Castle Ensemble includes the castle itself, the castle park, which is one of the most beautiful in Germany, the former coach house, where the hotel is now housed, the former distillery, today the homestead, the Orangerie, two cavalier houses and its own church named after its builder Schinkel Church. The well-known Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781 – 1841) was also the one who rebuilt the castle in 1820 and created today's neoclassical form.
São Paulo
Oscar Niemeyer was best known for his modern architecture in Brasília (and his contributions to the United Nations headquarters in New York), often using concrete to sculpt beautiful buildings. You can see many of his aesthetic trademarks in São Paulo’s Copan Building, a towering residential complex with sinuous concrete facade; and you can really get up close to his genius by renting one of the building’s apartments, courtesy of Airbnb. This studio apartment is located on the 23rd floor, and the host will happily guide you to the bakeries and shops on the lower levels and show you how to take in the incredible views from the rooftop.

Calpe, Spain
One of Catalan’s most famous architects, Ricardo Bofill was responsible for many social housing projects in Spain and France. One such project is La Muralla Roja in Alicante, a Moorish fortress-inspired complex with a striking red facade and series of labyrinthine staircases (anyone else getting major Squid Game vibes?). This five-star Airbnb lets guests explore beyond the individual apartment, including the building’s rooftop pool and countless photo backdrops.

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (better known as Le Corbusier) was a pioneer of modern architecture, with 17 projects inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One UNESCO-recognized project is Unité d’habitation, a series of residential buildings that includes the influential La Cité Radieuse structure in Marseille. The apartment building is a paragon of Brutalist style (bulky, stark, made from concrete) and features a communal rooftop terrace, views of the Mediterranean, and 337 apartments with western-facing balconies. This two-bedroom duplex on Airbnb gives you a little taste of Le Corbusier’s original design—plus Wi-Fi.
