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.
