THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL

WHAT MAKES A HOTEL, A BOTIQUE HOTEL? BOUTIQUE HOTEL DESIGN COMES OF AGE IN THE 1990S

“A hotel stay is a chance to try on a different life — to inhabit new spaces, explore new fantasies, and check yourself out against a new interior-design backdrop.”- Mark Fedeli

DESIGN MAKES AN IMPACT:

Glenn Pushelberg, co-founder of Yabu Pushelberg: When the boutique hotels first started showing up, it was all about design, and the more design you put into them, the more people were drawn to them. It didn’t go much deeper than that.

So that kind of turned into a much more thoughtful process of design

• Connect people to history- take people back in time

where hotels started thinking of the lobby as a social gathering

• Reignite imagination

spot, so there was more thought about who it was you were trying

• Connect people to art

to attract, and the traffic you wanted to create. That was when you

• Allow people to express themselves

started seeing a shift toward thinking about the guest as a pivotal

• Create Grandeur

part of the design process.

• Emphasize emotion or Mood • Create an alternate “universe”

That seriousness of intent of it being a place and more than a hotel

• Elevate or connect to Culture

became the common link between the two.

• Highlight Exterior Views • Grandeaur, richness, exclusivity

Boutique Hotel design was all about creating special atmosphere,

• Create memories

unique to each location. It was about creating interactive service, and

• Create the feeling of theacricality

itt was about very highly personalized recognition.

• Comfort & Luxury • Whimsy, Fantasy, Wonderland

A LOOK INSIDE a Boutique Hotel ARCHITECTURE: A 21ST CENTURY MOUNTAIN GETAWAY Extensively re-designed to adopt a more contemporary focus, The Cambrian’s architecture stresses panoramic windows, smooth swathes of slate and stone, and multiple decks from which to take in the stunning scenery.

For those guests who choose to experience the bracing mountain air, the enclosed winter garden opens onto a sun deck that is the perfect place to enjoy an après-ski drink and tan under the tender winter sun.

The Cambrian’s 750m2 spa is adjacent to an outdoor terrace where bathers and steamers can cool off after one of the many treatments offered.

INTERIOR DESIGN: SWISS SERENITY The interiors at the Cambrian cocoon guests in welcoming warmth. The hotel prides itself on the primary use of natural, local materials throughout the hotel.

The crisp modernity of its furniture is dynamically integrated into the powerful landscapes outside. In each of the guestrooms, the elegant, sleek furniture such as the cool steel curves of the Barcelona chairs echo the snowcovered ridges visible while seated in them.

ANOTHER LOOK INSIDE ARCHITECTURE: A LONDON LANDMARK A bold step away from cookie-cutter minimalism, Haymarket Hotel fuses contemporary and classical references in an ultra-central London location. A landmark building designed by the legendary John Nash, the master architect who developed most of Regency London, including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and the adjoining Haymarket Theatre, the building comprises 50 bedrooms and suites plus one exclusive townhouse property. The Haymarket’s façade features a dramatic row of columns that run the length of Suffolk Place.

Experience Kit Kemp’s bold design choices and totally unique flair, all set in light-filled interiors poised to strike a chord with those passing though.

Physical and visual pleasures merge in guestrooms overflowing with inviting pillows, luscious textures, cloth-covered walls, and custom-made furniture such as Shagreen coffee tables with ivory wood-toned details. Modern English with a classic pedigree: Haymarket Hotel is timeless.

The LGBT community of Brighton and Hove is one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Brighton, a seaside resort on the south coast of England, is generally agreed to be the unofficial “gay capital” of the UK, with records pertaining to LGBT history dating back to the early 19th century.

“hippest city”,and “the happiest place to live in the UK” “unofficial gay capital of the UK”

Many LGBT pubs, clubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and shops are located around Brighton and in particular around St James’s Street in Kemptown. Several LGBT charities, publishers, social and support groups are also based in the city. Brighton Pride is the largest Pride event in the UK, celebrated at the start of August and attracting around 160,000 people every year.

In a 2014 estimate, 11–15% of the city’s population aged 16 or over is thought to be lesbian, gay or bisexual. The city also had the highest percentage of same-sex households in the UK in 2004 and the largest number of civil partnership registrations outside London in 2013.

Hove and Brighton became linked in 1997 and despite Hove’s newly minted restaurants and celebrity residents, the area retains its stately superiority. Stroll its beachfront and you’ll see what we mean: sweeping clotted-cream-coloured Regency squares, spangly-smart beach huts, well-dressed (well, less grungy) locals walking dinky pooches.

design concept Patchwork City extension, a piece of the patchwork quilt.

The Design of Quilted Laine hotel is inspired by the culture and context of Brighton. The city is known for a brand of uniqueness that gives each street, each block or corner it’s own statement and it becomes a place for everyone. It is all about the city’s carefree culture, historic architecture, and love of leisure film, books, shopping, eating, and night life. It is a city where inclusivity is woven throughout the city and stitched across the geography of the city and the diversity of people that live here.

Patchwork quilting started out as something to give purpose to the little extra scraps of fabric. It is ll about making use of even the smallest unique piece of fabric, and bringing colors, pattens and shapes to produce something organized and beautiful.

The hotel is going to be an extension of the city. It will bring elements that draw on each part of the culture that people come to Brighton for. Designing with the intention that the hotel brings unique elements from the city to make it whole and purposefully eclectic. The hotel will be another patch that quilts the city in uniqueness and diversity.

A variety of colors, textures and materials will be integrated into the design to highlight the diversity, carefree comfort and inclusivity of Brighton.
