Instead of a product today I am going to feature a place.
This is a hotel where my very lucky DH visited recently when in Miami. He was so impressed by it he was raving about it on the phone to me. Unfortunately he couldn't remember the name of it and only that it was designed by some famous guy lol. But since he found it online today we will forgive him.
The famous designer was Phillipe Starck.
This is the hotel's description in their Hotel Overview.
"Located in the heart of South Beach and directly on the ocean, Delano is the ultimate world-class urban resort hotel and self-contained destination. In a completely original manipulation of space that blurs all “normal” distinctions, Delano boasts the first Indoor/Outdoor lobby, offering a seamless flow between a series of unique indoor and outdoor environments. Nine beautifully conceived areas are each distinct in form and function, yet together create the feel of an interwoven village where guests can find both a wealth of activity and a peaceful haven. Philippe Starck has assembled a stunning international collection of furniture and objects, including works from such renowned artists as Antonio Gaudi, Man Ray, Charles and Ray Eames, Salvador Dali and Mark Newson."
Did your jaw drop with all those famous names. Dh said over the phone the furniture is amazing and so eclectic- no wonder he was impressed.
So this is the lobby that is divided into 9 rooms.
