This looks like an AI fantasy image, but it's a hotel and an outdoor shopping area in Zaandam, a suburb of Amsterdam. It's so unique and so photogenic that you come away with a smile on your face. This is a 6 frame panorama done with a 16-35mm wide angle lens, and I stitched the images together in Photoshop. I then opened the flattened composite in Adobe Camera Raw and added clarity, vibrance, contrast, and I moved the shadows and highlight sliders to taste. Using the 'geometry' feature in ACR, I straighten most of the vertical lines. This was dusk when the lights were just starting to come on, and I think they add a nice touch to a remarkable architectural feat.
