My number 1 is "The Crosby Street Hotel", a privately owned hotel by Tim and Kit Kemp, who have many hotels in London. Kit Kemp designed the hotel, and her wonderful eclectic style shines through from room to room. If you are in town, at least stop by for a cocktail and browse the lobby, study, and bar..worth stealing a few ideas!!!
Number 2 is the" Gramercy Park Hotel", lovated in lovely gramercy park , surrounded by great brownstones, and down the street form the famous Gramercy Tavern.. the hotel is noted for "pushing the envelop", bohemian style! Plaster walls, moroccan tile work, bold colors large pieces of art, and reclaimed lumber, has your eyes trying to take it all in! Maybe you think this is not your style, but there is definitely one or tow things you can take form this hotel to give your home an interesting vibe!
Number 3, last but not least is "The London Hotel". If the other two where did not give you the calm feel you may need when staying at a hotel.. The London will! clean, monochromatic style, a hint on the masculine side.. it provides a more minimalist feel..which some are looking for. You can also incorporate this feel into your bedroom at home.. by keeping it clean, sharp and simple!
