Stacked Hotel
We talk a lot here about furniture that folds up and takes less space; we like it to be easy, efficient and neat. Bristol,UK artists Adam Dade and Sonya Hanney do this for art rather than interior design; they go into hotels, pack up all the furniture and photograph it. In an introduction to an exhibition in Birmingham, Simon Morissey described the process. “Each of the ten versions of Stacked Hotel Rooms ... had the same parameters. The artists check into a given hotel. They familiarize themselves with the room. They dismantle the room without being discovered and without causing damage to its contents. They arrange the contents into a stack formation of some kind, a volume within a volume. They take a photograph of it and latterly have also videotaped the process. They reassemble the room. Everything is back in its rightful place”.

Rooms at Quentin
The hotel offers 60 elegant and stylishly furnished guest rooms, all featuring a private bathroom with hairdryer.Each room is furthermore equipped with comfortable luxuries, such as a cable LCD-TV, mini bar, digital safe, direct dial phone, high speed Internet access and individually controlled air-conditioning.Rooms for disabled guests are available as well.

Hotel 1
Michelle worked in conjunction with Aukett Fitzroy Robinsons and Radisson Edwardian to develop the contemporary interior concept for this new 169 bedroom 4 Star Hotel designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Architects.The Hotel was specifically geared toward the business traveller and the guest rooms feature state-of-the-art technology and Wi-Fi access.

The hotel tower has 307 rooms and suites in three flavors : Standard, Deluxe and Suite. Standard and deluxe are 450+ square feet, which is larger or equivalent in size to the standard rooms at New York-New York (Skyline, Park Avenue Deluxe and Broadway Deluxe.) The suites at Eastside Cannery come in two flavors - the Corner Suite and the Executive. Corner Suite (600 sq ft - about 100 sq ft smaller than the ones at Encore) are located on the corners of the building, have a separate bedroom, jacuzzi tub with a view (!) and a large glass shower stall.

Up To My Room
As you may have noticed the venue for our recent Come Up To My Room design show coverage was the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. The entire second floor of the building was used for the exhibition, but the third and fourth floors are a full-fledged hotel with a unique story all to itself. A newly renovated Victorian era hotel, the hotel is 115 years old, it now has 37 artist-designed hotel rooms and suites that range in style from classical contemporary to the outer reaches of the avant garde. Christina Zeidler, one of two curators for the CUTMR show, is also the hotel's manager. She gave us the guided tour and here are some of the room images we brought back. All of the decorative elements, and much of the furniture and the lighting were custom created for each room.

room design
It's never very surprising to come across great, creative Scandinavian design - it's like the region's inhabitants are born with it and maximize their talents to their full potential. I love the idea of theme hotels with individualized and very forward-thinking room design, so Copenhagen's Hotel Fox's 61 rooms provide eye candy galore.

These amazing rooms are from the Fox Hotel ( the former Park Hotel ), that is located in the center of Copenhagen, and I can say that these artists turned this hotel into the world’s most exciting and creative lifestyle hotel. The hotel has 61 rooms that are all completely different so choosing between a room with Art Deco inspired furnishings or a room where the walls have patterns taken straight out of a 1960s psychedelic film or a room where you spend the night in the company of Japanese Manga inspired cartoon characters may well pose a dilemma to some guests.

Hotel room 3
Michelle worked in conjunction with Reardon Smith Architects, Real Studios and Le Meridian Hotel Group on the £95 million re-build of this 4 Star City Hotel, with a dynamic mix of exhibition styled design spaces, probably the most innovative design led refurbishment ever undertaken at a major London Hotel.The Cumberland has been transformed into an 'Art & Tech' Boutique Hotel with the focus on style, design, comfort and a personal service.The Hotel also includes:

The Vincent Hotel
This new form of room service isn?t exactly the norm for the Southport area, as it is not known for pushing the envelope of sexuality. Nonetheless, the Vincent Hotel, which is slated to open in May of 2008, will certainly draw lots of attention ? and will likely to have plenty of guests as well.Still, there is a bit of controversy surrounding the hotel?s special offerings. For some, the new room service offerings seem a bit risqu?. For others, it seems as if it is about time for a hotel to offer sex toys. After all, it is no secret that many people choose to go to hotels in order to enjoy sexual encounters. Whether or not they will be comfortable with ordering these packages, however, remains to be seen.
