Fashion hotels are very much in vogue. Bulgari, Armani, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Missoni, Moschinoand more, all have designs on the hotel market.
No longer content with just selling couture, an increasing number of fashion designers have decided to open hotels where their clients can eat, sleep and breathe the brand (owing to monogrammed toiletries and tableware and catwalk-ready staff uniform) and even to take it home – Armani’s Milan hotel is situated above his Emporio Armani flagship store.
Across the Atlantic, Ralph Lauren has designed all 36 oceanfront guest-rooms at Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Jamaica while Oscar de la Renta developed the Dominican Republic’s Tortuga Bay Hotel.
All of which is why, in this issue, we’re shining a spotlight on some of the most fashionable designer hotels and bedroom suites you can stay in (or soon will) be able to stay in…Suite dreams!
