The Atomium is a giant model of an iron molecule built for the 1958 World's Fair in Belgium. It re-opened this year as the Kid Sphere Hotel and it looks amazing. Link (Thanks, Jessica!)

I'm a Belgian, I live in Brussels, and I am a huge fan of this building
(we were able to do one of the last parties in the then not yet
renovated top ball :-).Just passing by it once a week makes me smile again and again :-)
If you're ever in Brussels, go visit it…
It's only of of the balls which has the kids hotel – this is what the
atomium site has to say about it:
— An area specifically for children and school groups.This area will occupy a whole sphere and will be used for lessons in
urban life. The idea, an original concept from the Spanish artist
Alicia Framis, that they should be able to sleepover has also been
incorporated as part of an educational trip.General site. For the rest all the balls have different functions and there is a
restaurant in the top ball.
