- M Social Singapore
Where: Singapore
Who is the designer: Philippe Starck
How much per night: from $150/day
It’s not the first time for a distinguished Frenchman to design a hotel – and each of his work in the hotel industry is filled with incredible energy. M Social is also known by its democratic nature: among the hotel rooms there’s no clear division into standard and luxury, and all 293 rooms are cozy mini-lofts.
As in all Starck’s projects, public areas are abundant with kitsch, graffiti, cosmic lights and gadgets: for example, one of the walls of the bar was decorated with smartphones.
Don’t be alarmed if instead of the hotel staff you find a robot that is in a hurry to deliver food and drinks to the visitors’ rooms. In such a way the owners of M Social automate the hotel service.
- Parker Palm Springs
Where: Palm Springs, California, USA
Who is the designer: Jonathan Adler
How much per night: from $300/day
Strictly speaking, Adler didn’t invent the style of the hotel from scratch, but only refreshed it. 144 rooms and public areas of the hotel, designed in the spirit of the mid-century modern interiors, were diluted with bright posters and unusual accessories, and outside a two-meter bronze sculpture of a banana were installed.
By the way, the print of the carpet on the stairs from eccentric American designer is his special design invention. Be sure to visit the villa where the legendary Gene Autry once stayed – a singer and actor famous for his roles in American westerns. Adler redid the interior of the villa completely, recreating as much as possible the spirit of the past.
- Il Sereno Lago di Como Hotel
Where: Torno, Italy
Who is the designer: Patricia Urquiola
How much per night: from $820/day
It seems that it would be difficult to find better natural decorations for the design of Patricia Urquiola than the surroundings of Lake Como. Perhaps this is why the chamber boutique hotel with 30 rooms, designed by the legendary Spaniard, looks like a logical continuation of the natural landscapes of northern Italy.
Probably, in Il Sereno, Urquiola decorated everything – from furniture and bathroom equipment to staff uniform.
When choosing a room, pay attention to the Darsena Suite. Its peculiarity is that it’s located on the water level: you can dive into the lake directly from the terrace.
