The Wynn in Las Vegas has very long slightly curved hallways-with brightly patterned carpet and texured oxblood wallpaper-I fond it very disquieting for some reason.

The Hudson Hotel in NYC. The walls, doors, ceilings and floors are all a weird brown / battleship gray. With small fluorescent lights over either the door or room number (to the side of the door...I forget). Still ~really~ dark. And a freaking maze of a hallway. Totally trendy...and totally a mess.

Perhaps someone should direct him to the Hilton Scottsdale Resort & Villas, where a photograph of "Merv Griffin plus at least one other celebrity" adorns the hallways every ten to fifteen feet throughout the building.

Some strange ones in North Africa - and I guess elsewhere as well - where the hallways are in darkness until you turn the lights on - switch indicated by faint red light, which gives you enough light to get to the next red switch before the lights go off again. Must save loads of electricity and the environment etc etc so probably a Good Thing.

The Mayfair Hotel in MIA gets my vote.
I've heard they've toned down the interior of the rooms a bit, though.

This isn't about the hallway so much as the doors in the hallways of the Hotel National in Moscow near my room (didn't wander around so I'm not sure if this is true of every floor). Each room was reached by a short flight of steps from the hallway.
We'd arrived at something like 1AM local time and had an early meeting the next day. I was sad when the folks next to me were checking out veeeery early and weren't being particularly quiet. They threw open their door and then I heard the sound of someone falling down those steps.
Probably not nice of me, but I went back to sleep giggling to myself.
