Design & Dcor Handbook

Sep 15, 2005 12:00 PM, By Patricia Sheehan

Welcome to Lodging Hospitality's First Annual Design & Décor Handbook. We hope you'll find the accompanying guide to lodging interior design products a valuable resource for your property.

The recent boom in lodging development and renovation activity has focused owners and operators on design and the myriad related products and services. According to Lodging Econometrics, there are 1,070 hotels in the construction pipeline this year, and an additional 210 announced reflaggings and renovations. That's a mind-boggling amount of ff&e to procure and install.

In addition to product charts, we've included features that spotlight design-focused hotels. Perhaps they'll inspire you to go for that much-needed total renovation…or simply freshen a few tired elements.

Style & Grace Boutiques grow up

Boutique hotels have evolved from their image just a few years back as starkly modern, edgy and, for many of us, downright intimidating havens of hip, to something softer and more approachable — and dare we say, cozy?

While savvy boutique owners and operators have put renewed focus on attentive and friendly service, design has hardly taken a back seat. The most trend-forward hospitality designs are still to be found in boutique hotels. But there seems to be an embracing of a kinder, gentler boutique experience. We're seeing more warmth, without sacrificing cool.

Perhaps this is best illustrated by the design work of Kimpton Hotels. The San Francisco-based company has spearheaded creative boutique design for the past 21 years and continues to refine the concept in its collection of 39 owned and/or managed hotels in 16 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada, including 12 in San Francisco. Its growing portfolio includes seven Hotel Monacos across the country, the Onyx Hotel in Boston, 70 Park Avenue in New York City, and the Hotel Solamar in San Diego. Palomar hotels are currently under development in Washington, D.C., Dallas and Arlington, VA, and additional projects are under way in South Florida.

“Kimpton has really broken the mold on what hotel design stands for,” claims David Sussman vice president, Hotel Development & Design for Kimpton Hotels. “(Founder) Bill Kimpton's vision for a residentially inspired look has transformed the industry.”

When Kimpton died in 2001, hotel industry veteran Tom LaTour took the reins as chairman and CEO, guiding the company from a regional boutique hotel chain to a national presence. He is focused on renovating old hotels or mixed-use buildings that have fallen into disrepair, or reimagining historic buildings, like Washington, D.C.'s Tariff Building, which Kimpton turned into the Hotel Monaco. LaTour says the company's goal is to open five new hotels per year, with three opened so far this year.

Kimpton relies on outside designers with an instinct for intimate, residential-feel spaces in designing its eclectic collection of hotels.

In his 21 years with Kimpton Hotels, Sussman has witnessed the evolution of the boutique hotel genre. And in his role, he's got his fingers firmly on the pulse of the latest trends in hospitality design for “experience hotels.”

“I think the minimalism trend has nearly run its course, although simpler looks are still in and I think we'll still see some more of that,” says Sussman. “Boutique hotels also have richer textures and finishes in the rooms and public spaces.

“There is also a renewed interest in luxury and opulence; design trends move faster now as the industry has woken up to the importance of hotel design. Also, there has been an increased awareness of our environment and that is putting eco-consciousness at the forefront of design.”

LUSH LIFE

Kimpton's Hotel Monaco in San Francisco (the former Bellevue Hotel) epitomizes these ideas. With its mixture of Beaux Arts charm and sophistication, the Hotel Monaco showcases many of the 1910 building's original elements, such as the classically arched windows and a grand two-story French-style fireplace.

With its $24-million award-winning renovation, designer Cheryl Rowley created an interior that is an eclectic mix of classical Greek architecture, the sunny glow of the Mediterranean, and the flair of the hotel's Beaux Arts influences.

Rich, saturated colors, carpets from Western Europe and exotic furniture inspired by Asian, South American and Middle Eastern designs blend together. The registration desk is playfully patterned after a classically styled steamer trunk, and navigational imagery throughout the hotel evokes sea journeys.

The 201 colorful guestrooms feature canopy beds, Chinese-inspired armoires, bamboo writing desks and high-backed upholstered chairs.

In contrast to the kaleidoscope colors and furnishing of Monaco, Kimpton's Palomar is a chic, Art Deco-influenced hotel that resides on the top five floors of a 1907 office building in San Francisco's SoMa district. Understated elegance describes this property, with earthy colors and leopard-print carpet. The 198 guestrooms feature crisp, tailored lines and furnishings. Geometric forms accent muted tones, highlighted by touches of emerald green and navy blue.

Palomar's restaurant, Fifth Floor, continues the urbane and clubby atmosphere with its zebra-print carpet, modernist furnishings, beautiful artwork and Frette linen.

Kimpton is expanding the Palomar sub-brand with soon-to-open properties in Dallas and Arlington, VA. The décor was created by Cheryl Rowley and Bob LoCoeur and appeals to creative types and sophisticated travelers with its “Art in Motion” theme.

Soon to come for Kimpton: The Mayfair Hotel & Spa, Coconut Grove, FL opening this month, and next fall, the Ritz Plaza in South Beach, Miami.

“New looks are influenced by the hotels' locations and design inspiration can come from all sorts of sources, including media, fashion, design and technology,” observes Sussman. “There is increased attention to details that may not have been as focused on as closely before, such as uniform design, accessories and artwork, which play an important role in enhancing the ambience and guest experience.”

HIP AND HOMEY

Oceana Hotel Group is a small, privately held operator that also embraces the kinder, gentler approach to boutique hotels. Its collection of four hotels are located in California and New York City. It promotes understated elegance and comfort in its properties, which include the oceanfront Hotel Oceana Santa Monica and Hotel Oceana Santa Barbara, and the newly renovated Roger Hotel and the petite Franklin Hotel in New York City.

Oceana turned to residential designers for each of its four properties to infuse them with a “hip yet homey look,” says Brian Cogswell, senior vice president, describing Oceana's driving design philosophy. “Each of these hotels were the first hotels these designers had worked on. We like to give the designers free rein, because we think it gives the hotels a unique look. We give them two guidelines: Don't think like a hotelier when designing, and use bright colors.”

Located at 31st and Madison in the Murray Hill District of Manhattan, The Roger presents a cool, sleek façade to passersby with its streamlined glass façade. Inside is a different story. The original design by Rafael Vinoly, the architect behind Jazz at Lincoln Center and the club Bungalow 8, has been enhanced by Philip DeBolske and interior designer Annette Jaffe.

The hotel is a welcoming retreat from the hustle and bustle outside. Visitors stepping into the Living Room, or hotel lobby, are greeted by a collage of Kandinsky-inspired colors splashed on modern furnishings, and a granite floating staircase. Depending on the time of day, live jazz tames the colorful palette, together with lighted pillar candles.

More than ten percent of The Roger's 190 guestrooms and suites feature private, landscaped terraces, a rarity among New York hotels. Colorful quilts, flat-screen televisions and down comforters and pillows encourage some serious cocooning.

On Manhattan's Upper East Side, the Franklin Hotel has the feel of a small European inn. Its 50 guestrooms and common areas, also designed by Annette Jaffe, feature warm, subdued color schemes with grand touches such as crystal chandeliers, dimly lit sconces, mosaic art and fresh floral bouquets. A Parisian-style breakfast room offers a chic and relaxing place to enjoy tea and cappuccinos throughout the day.

“I see that people are following our lead,” says Cogswell. “I see more and more boutique operators going with this homey look, with homier amenities and, of course, warmer service.”

Townhouse: Casual and Cool

Now that wireless Internet is available — it cut out for more than a day — I really like my room on the second floor of the Townhouse Hotel in South Beach, the Miami area's style and design incubator. The Townhouse is a 70-unit project of Design Hotel owner Jonathan Morr. It's striking for what it leaves out: any art or decoration on the guest-room walls, ostentatious high technology and fussy amenities. Some would call my room stark. It's certainly without affect, but it's not cold. It's painted in white, with putty-colored highlights. The queen bed is white, the duvet is white, the light over the bed is white. The only color is the old-fashioned red bedside phone, the red roses on the Japanese lantern overhanging the L-shaped sofa, and the pale blue of the big bed pillow and the circular carpet in front of the decidedly old-fashioned and refreshingly easy-to-operate TV.

Even the toilet kit is stark. Besides the expected moisturizer, soap and shampoo, it contains a mending kit and a prophylactic, all emblazoned with the Townhouse hotel logo highlighting the letter “h.” The lobby fits right in with this decidedly minimalist, oddly comforting design approach: it's beachy, all white, its plain wooden furniture easy to use. It's where you sit in the morning for your (truly) continental breakfast of hard-boiled eggs, croissants, baguettes, and whatever type of coffee you'd like. Oh, yes. There's orange juice, too.

In the evening, hit the Townhouse basement for Bond Street, an exceptional sushi restaurant. It's sister to Bond Street New York, another celebrated sushi emporium.

“It's really simple but chic, kind of the way people live,” says Meredith Morgan, GM at the Townhouse for the past three years. “It's comfortable and the design aims for relaxation and comfort. It's just so easy to chill out.”

Most of the clientele are 25 to 50 years old, and it's diverse. People come to the Townhouse to relax, though it's also the site of frequent fashion shoots and commercials, particularly around the rooftop lounge, Morgan says. “It's not uncommon during your stay to see a shoot going on, whether it's on the roof or here in the lobby.”

She says the Townhouse is more affordable than most of the other hotels in this upscale area; its rates are $105 to $250, depending on the season. The Setai, a five-star Design Hotel across the street, won't cut into Townhouse business, she says. Morgan also notes that the area is becoming the cultural arts center of Miami Beach because it includes the city's convention center and is within a 10-minute walk of the Lincoln Road shopping district — and Ocean Drive, which she says is losing its commercial luster.

“I think we're really the only hotel that does what we do in South Beach,” Morgan says. “I think we've really balanced design and affordable pricing in a way that hasn't been done in a lot of places.

“Trendy is like a passing fad,” says Morgan, who opened Ian Schrager's similarly white Delano Hotel 10 years ago. “Hip works. Trendy to me seems like it's here and gone. We've been here for five years. All you do is drop your car off for the night, and you can do all your socializing, all your entertaining, within one block.”

In Defense of the Armoire

Much has been made of the so-called “death of the armoire” in the hospitality industry, and even in the consumer press. From my vantage point working in the furniture industry, I consider myself qualified and compelled to offer a different viewpoint

First of all, the armoire is not dead. It is still selling strongly while undergoing some changes to meet the changing needs of today's consumers and hospitality clients. Over the last several decades it has evolved into one of hospitality's most versatile pieces of furniture.

There are major changes occurring in the furniture industry, mainly as a result of the electronics revolution; everybody is looking for designs that better suit their cutting-edge needs. While in some cases the growing popularity of flat-screen televisions has led to the removal of armoires in hotel rooms, the armoire is far from obsolete. It has merely morphed into a more functional piece.

For example, I have been involved in the creation of armoire designs that incorporate a drop-down desktop on the inside door, a pull-out keyboard tray, CPU storage, drawers, file or mail slots, open shelf storage above and even vertical hanging space.

But wait, there's more: there are “shorty” armoires, cleverly re-named “media centers,” that we created to house entire home theater packages. On top of these units, a flat screen or plasma TV can sit on a swivel or hang on the wall just above the unit, solving the issue of component storage and the clutter of exposed, tangled wires.

As we witness the integration of modern electronic devices from consumer to hospitality applications, I have to ask myself, “These companies are spending wads of money to keep up with the virtual Joneses, but are they considering the proper presentation?” It's like dressing up in a tuxedo for dinner and going to McDonalds. It seems that the long term plan of upgrading has often been unaccounted for. If I were a buyer for a hotel, I'd want to know how I'd be able to add features later without starting from scratch.

One argument in favor of eliminating the armoire is the appeal of minimalism; less is more. Some advertisements recommend “…save money by investing in a plasma TV and you won't need an armoire.” But you do need something to accommodate storage and dresser top needs. There are those in the industry who believe the only option in dealing with “a big old clunky piece of furniture” is eliminating the armoire completely. What a waste. There are options to disposal — one can make simple modifications to an armoire to make it more versatile.

The armoire is not dead; it's simply morphed.
