The Sheikh Imam Room
Upon entering the Sheikh Imam themed room, you will immediately cast your gaze on the white metal bar shining in the light. The bars begin from the headboard of the bed and extend towards the ceiling. Moreover, the bars hanging on the ceiling, staring down at the front of the bed have tiny LED bulbs fitted in them to emitting white. White is the only color used to celebrate this legendary and controversial figure in honor of Imam's blindness. He must have discovered his musical ear by losing the sight in his eyes.
The bars hanging in the themed rooms boutique hotel in Amman, Jordan aren't only just mean to be an artistic touch; they represent the prison in which Sheikh Imam used to be thrown in. His only crime - singing powerful songs in favor of the working class folk in Egypt. There is also a painting of him hanging on one of the wall behind the monogram of the hotel.
