Design Ideas From My Tour of the Ace Hotel New York! Part II: The Lobby

CasaSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

If you saw Part I of this slideshow (The Loft Suite), you know I was recently invited to tour the new Ace Hotel in New York. I've always been a fan of the boutique hotel chain's vintage industrial aesthetic, but I particularly loved the prep school/university library feel of Ace NY's lobby. Tall ceilings, original floor tiling, old wooden tables, giant columns, cozy, quiet seating, and a well-bound collection of dusty books made me feel like I'd stepped into a scene from School Ties - although Matt Damon was nowhere to be found. There are plenty of clever design ideas for you take from this lobby, even if a trip to the Big Apple isn't in your plans.

Design Ideas From My Tour of the Ace Hotel New York! Part 1: The Loft Suite

CasaSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

During a recent East Coast getaway, I was invited to tour the new Ace Hotel in New York, and I've got photos to prove it! My love for Ace is no secret, but until now I haven't had the chance to visit one. I hoped the hotel would live up to its good press and photos, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. As with the boutique hotel chain's other outposts, a campy, vintage-industrial aesthetic rang true here, and inspiration was also drawn from the history of the building and city. First, take a peek at the loft suite and get some clever design ideas for your home. Each floor boasts only one of these 825-square-foot corner rooms, so you're in for a treat!

Home Away From Home: Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel

CasaSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:00:00 -0700

If travel ever takes you to the country of Laos, you'd be well advised to pamper yourself with a night of luxury at the Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel in Luang Prabang. The town of Luang Prabang is a perfect destination for armchair architects, since this UNESCO World Heritage Site beautifully illustrates the fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures.

The Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel was once home to Laotian royalty, and its current decor alternates between bygone colonial era furnishings in some wings of the hotel and more modern furnishings in others. Throughout the hotel, however, guests can expect beautifully furnished and luxuriously appointed quarters. After a day of exploring temples, ruins, or the city's architecture, guests can dine at the hotel's restaurant Elephant Blanc, which offers a variety of French, Laotian, and Indochinese cuisine. Or, choose to relax with a massage, facial, or other spa treatment at the Angsana Spa.

To take a full tour of the hotel, read more.

The hotel has been honored with many awards, including being noted as one of the world’s best new hotels in the Luxury Travel Awards and making the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List.
