Certain kinds of hotels and holidays appeal to certain kinds of people. City bums love the contemporary feel of a hotel, nature-lovers love the overwater villas. We talk about different kinds of hotel decors that exist in the world By: Soumya Jain Luxury hotels come in a variety of sizes, shapes and designs. Some our smaller, boutique properties, others are large, mammoth sized creations. Along with the size, the décor of the hotel also helps define the vibe the property wants to give, and the kind of vacationers or tourists it wants to invite to its folds. Locational attributes also define the style of the hotel. Island hotels are more tropical, airport hotels more basic. We talk about some common kinds of hotel designs and hotels that exemplify them.
The Island Look Island hotels look like they come from a dream. One of the most apt examples is St. Regis MaldivesVommuli Resort. It’s villas with private pools and surrounded by lush flora and fauna make it an instantly refreshing hotel design. Water inspired features and spas, tropical colours – all add up to make St. Regis Maldives a stunning resort to spend your vacation in!
The City Style Cities with their skyscrapers look like a magical place to those who come from suburbs or islands to holiday in the ‘big, bad world’. City hotels exemplify that feeling with their contemporary design, encompassing modern art features, innovative lighting and neutral shades. Hotel Conrad Pune has incorporated all these features in its hotels, along with some smart room technology. High ceilings and sleek lines make Conrad Pune a hotel par excellence in the upcoming city of Pune. Design specialist Anouska Hempel gave a tip to luxury blogLuxuryFacts on how to add that magnificent feeling in hotels, “Proportions up-high. If you are building a space and the volumes allow, consider the possibility of reaching high into the heights with domes and cupolas covered in Baccarat Crystals. The light and reflections of water or candlelight below will create a majestic interior with memorable consequences.”
The Retro Vibe Nostalgia works well with many vacationers. And many hotels take advantage of that with curvaceous furniture, bright pop shades, vintage signs and other features that communicate a way of life that doesn’t exist anymore. TWA Hotelin New York has aced this kind of style. An airport terminal which was once futuristic, it was turned into TWA Hotel which is now retro with white surroundings and red furniture. As far as airport hotels go, TWA Hotel is the most intriguing, exciting one we have seen!
Historic Heritage It’s always challenging to preserve the historic heritage of a property, while still giving it that slight modernity. Truth be told, there is a certain charm about historic hotels which evokes images of flowy gowns, champagne glasses and violins. Nothing spells luxury more appropriately than a historical hotel. Examples abound: The Ritz in London and Paris, Ciragan Palace Kempinski in Istanbul and The Drisco in Tel Aviv.
For both island looks and retro vibes, another advice by Anouska Hempel to luxury blog LuxuryFacts, may work well: “During travels…be spontaneous and bring something back that catches your eye at first glance...An interesting mix of furniture, desks, books, chairs, baskets, lamps, cushion shapes and glassware will in turn catch someone else’s eye, and create more stories about faraway travels – real or not!”
