    Chinese studio Neri&Hu has completed a hotel in Shanghai alongside the New Bund Performing Arts Centre, which was also designed by the studio.

    Located in Pudong District, Artyzen New Bund 31 hotel forms part of a larger development called Qiantan, which includes an office tower and a shopping centre.
    The scalloped details on the entrance facade is to resonate with the arches used in the adjacent performing arts centreThe hotel, which is connected directly to the New Bund Performing Arts Centre, contains a total of 202 guest rooms is a tower above a podium.
    Alongside the entrance of the hotel on the ground floor, Neri&Hu created a scallop-shaped concrete facade to recall the arches of the performing arts centre.
    A large circular opening allows natural light into the ground floor lobbyGuests can go to the hotel reception on the fifth floor either directly from this gound ground floor entrance or via a lounge on the third floor that connects to performing arts centre.

    According to the Shanghai-based Neri&Hu, the hotel was conceived as having been carved from a single monolithic mass.
    The ground floor lobby features a large circular opening punctuating the ceiling, inviting natural light flooding into the otherwise enclosed space.
    The hotel is designed to be an “urban oasis”The firth floor, which is the top of the podium block, contains all the shared amenities including reception, lounges, restaurants, event spaces, and outdoor gardens.
    The facilities were placed in pavilions, which were arranged in a stone landscape that acts as a garden-like experience for guests.

    Neri&Hu captures “spirit of traditional alleyways” at Shanghai arts centre

    “The hotel is envisioned as an urban oasis that takes its guests on a journey of surprise and discovery,” said Neri&Hu.
    “With an abundance of outdoor landscape spaces, Artyzen Qiantan offers a rare experience in an urban hotel, a sense of respite and escape from the bustling city of Shanghai,” it continued.

    Grey stone wraps the entry and bathroom of each room, while wooden bed frames bring a sense of warmth, with bronze metal details adding a touch of luxury. Custom furniture pieces by Neri&Hu create a sense of home and casualness for the guests.

    Studio Collective completes The Hotel at The Moore in Miami Design District

    Design firm Studio Collective has created a boutique hotel inside The Moore building in Miami Design District, completing the landmark’s transformation into a multi-functional hospitality venue.

    Recently opened, The Hotel at The Moore occupies the building’s fourth floor and includes 13 suites designed by Studio Collective to feel like private residences.
    “The hotel suites are a new addition to the fourth floor, but were designed to fit the building’s original footprint within its historic interior,” said the hotel team.
    Each room inside The Hotel at The Moore has a unique design conceptThe rooms range from 700 to 1,000 square feet (65 to 93 square metres) and each is designed differently to create a unique experience for guests.
    One suite is decorated primarily in light neutral tones, where textured plaster walls allow walnut bed frames and furniture to stand out.

    Another features wood-panelled walls and woven textured ceilings, complemented by details like rattan lampshades, while colour is introduced through rugs and throw pillows.
    One suite features wood-panelled walls and a woven ceilingThe rooms include art and custom furnishings by makers such as Dallas-based furniture brand Mous and sustainably-focused Brazilian company Sossego.
    The Moore building’s central atrium features a sculptural installation by architect Zaha Hadid, titled Elastika, which was added in 2005 when the space was used as an events venue.
    Colour is subtly introduced through rugs and other detailsThe artwork has lent its name to a public restaurant that now occupies the space, where diners can enjoy a menu by chef Joe Anthony beneath the sinuous white forms that span across and up the four-level void.
    Interiors for the Elastika restaurant were created collaboratively by operators Woodhouse and design firm Icrave, and include velvet banquette seating and an 18-cover bar.

    Esme Hotel in Miami draws on the “bohemian grandeur” of its past

    Constructed in 1921 to as a showroom for Moore and Sons furniture, the neoclassical-style building now also accommodates a private members club, which has its own restaurant and dining room.
    Members also have access to a karaoke room, hidden cocktail lounges, game rooms, a library, various dining rooms with distinct themed decor, a photo booth, sun room and a late-night speakeasy called The Rabbit Hole.
    The Moore building’s lobby is outfitted with black and white flooring, and contrasting colourful furnitureThe Club spaces are populated with furniture and accessories in muted red, blue and green hues, and many have rounded shapes that echo the architectural details through the building.
    Lower levels have terracotta floor tiles, which are swapped for wooden planks on the upper storeys.
    The building’s Elastika restaurant sits within an atrium housing a Zaha Hadid-designed sculpture of the same nameBolder colours are used in the lobby area, where black and white marble flooring contrasts the bold tones of paintings and furniture.
    A grand black and honey-toned stone staircase connects the ground level with the open balconies that overlook the atrium and Elastika.
    Many of the furniture pieces in the building’s private members club are rounded to echo the architectural featuresMiami Design District continues to add distinctive architecture and retail interiors as it develops, from a sculptural block of buildings planned by Kengo Kuma to a Louis Vuitton store wrapped in a diamond-patterned facade completed by Marcel Wanders.
    Boutiques that have recently opened in the area include a Nodaleto shoe store, a Diesel store, and locations for PatBo and Cult Gaia.

    Bernadotte & Kylberg unveils own-label furniture in nature-inspired Arken hotel

    The design duo of Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and Oscar Kylberg have designed landscape-like interiors for a hotel in a Swedish nature reserve, featuring their first own-label furniture collection.

    The Bernadotte & Kylberg founders have created three unique suites at Arken, part of the Eriksberg Hotel and Nature Reserve in Blekinge, southern Sweden, which is Scandinavia’s largest safari park.
    The three suites include the grey-toned Urberg, which refers to mountain landscapesThe scheme includes custom-designed furniture pieces that the duo have now released under their own lifestyle brand, also named Bernadotte & Kylberg.
    The Eriksberg furniture collection features a bar cabinet, a writing desk and a chair, produced from solid oak wood, diabase stone and polished brass.
    Bernadotte & Kylberg designed furniture, lighting and carpets for all three suitesThe three Arken suites take cues from different parts of the Eriksberg reserve, a 925-hectare park that is home to mouflon sheep, minks, wild boars and various species of deer.

    The grey-toned Urberg suite refers to mountain landscapes, while the green-hued Skog suite is named after the Swedish word for forest. The third suite, the pale-blue Himmel, references the sky.
    The green-hued Skog suite is named after the Swedish word for forestBernadotte & Kylberg also set out the design palette for the other 23 rooms of the hotel, which feature matching colours and textiles to the suites.
    “Eriksberg is a unique and beautiful place in Blekinge. It is an experience totally on nature’s own terms,” said Carl Philip Bernadotte.
    “It is precisely this encounter with nature that we want to capture by blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors,” continued the prince.
    Martin Bergström designed wallpaper for each suiteBernadotte & Kylberg designed many of the details in the three suites, including the textural, multi-tonal carpets that dictate the three different colour schemes.
    The furniture, including beds, coffee tables and armchairs, was custom-produced by Älmhult-based manufacturer Specab. Bespoke lighting pieces were meanwhile developed with glass artists Simon Klenell and Rasmus Nossbring.
    The pale-blue Himmel suite references the skyThe duo also commissioned print designer Martin Bergström to design wallpaper for each suite, which he based on plants and other elements he collected on walks through the reserve.
    Other standout details include the floor-to-ceiling tree-trunk columns in the Skog suite and the large boulders in the Urberg suite.

    “Everything we do is going to be looked at more” says Prince Carl Philip as studio launches own brand

    “We were tasked with creating and realising a total interior design vision,” said Kylberg, describing the ambition to reflect “the soul and natural diversity of Eriksberg”.
    “We hope and believe that guests will enjoy the suites as much as we enjoyed creating them,” he added.
    Bathrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windowsFor the Eriksberg collection, Bernadotte & Kylberg have developed new colourways for the furniture pieces. The designs come in bold red or green finishes, as well as natural oak.
    The diabase used for these designs was sourced from the Kullaro Stone quarry in nearby Skåne.
    “The diabase stone quarried at Biskopsgården, in the northeastern part of the Swedish region Skåne, is truly unique, impressing not only with its rarity but also with its exceptional character and composition,” Kylberg said.
    The Eriksberg furniture collection includes the writing desk and chair designed for Arken suitesPrince Carl Philip is the only son of King Carl XVI Gustaf, and fourth in line to the Swedish throne.
    He and Kylberg founded their Stockholm-based studio in 2012. They initially focused on product design, but started moving into interiors after being commissioned to create a suite at Sweden’s famous Icehotel.
    They launched the Bernadotte & Kylberg design label in 2023, with a launch collection of scarves and blankets embellished with the B&K logo.
    The collection also includes a bar cabinet with a polished brass interiorIn an exclusive interview with Dezeen to mark the launch, the duo said that public scrutiny has kept them on their toes.
    “We know that everything we do is going to be looked at more,” said Bernadotte. “In the first years, it took a lot of energy from us, but today it’s something that is just there,” added Kylberg.
    As well as the Eriksberg furniture, Bernadotte & Kylberg have added a brass tealight holder called The Tulip to their own-label collection.

    Luca Guadagnino transforms Roman palazzo “steeped in history” into boutique hotel

    Film director Luca Guadagnino’s interior design studio has turned a historic palazzo in Rome, Italy, into a luxury hotel.

    The hotel, named Palazzo Talia, is the first hospitality project from Guadagnino’s Studiolucaguadagnino.
    Originally built in the 16th century, the palazzo was previously a school for children from less privileged backgrounds.
    Studiolucaguadagnino has converted a 16th-century palazzo in Rome into a hotelThe institution, called Nobile Collegio del Nazareno, eventually became more prestigious and taught children of aristocrats. It closed down in 1999, but is now being restored by the Federici family of real estate development firm Gruppo Fresia.
    The firm brought on board Studiolucaguadagnino to create its public spaces to guide the look and feel of the hotel.

    “The most exhilarating aspect was pondering how to intervene in a place so steeped in history and tailor it to a completely different, bespoke garment to breathe new life into the palace,” Studiolucaguadagnino project manager Pablo Molezun said.
    A floral carpet leads to the Magna HallAt the forefront of the hotel’s public spaces is a 248-square-metre hall called the Magna Hall, decorated with 18th-century frescoes. These frescoes were originally painted by Italian artist Gaspare Serenario.
    The studio installed a “monumental” floral carpet in the reception lobby. The carpet leads guests to a central staircase and the frescoed hall.
    The hotel features 18th-century frescoes painted by Gaspare SerenarioThe design of the hotel relied heavily on the use of a wide range of colour hues to achieve a “balanced decorative effect”, Molezun said, describing this as “chromaticism”.
    “Chromaticism guides the entire project, as does our close collaboration with artisans,” he told Dezeen.
    “This aspect allowed us to experiment with various techniques. The project itself is the result of a process aimed at achieving this balanced decorative synthesis.”

    Centuries-old frescoes also adorn the ceiling of the Bar della Musa, the hotel’s own bar. Its walls are clad in textured blown-mirror panels, which reflect the frescoes.
    Along with the public programme, Studiolucaguadagnino also designed the Terrace Suite on the top floor. The suite, capped with a sloping roof, is lined with peach wood panelling and features an alcove bed.
    The walls of the bar are covered in textured mirror panelsA 66-square-metre terrace extends from the suite, overlooking the inner courtyard of the hotel.
    Landscape artist Blue Mambor curated a selection of tropical foliage for the inner courtyard, transforming it into an “urban oasis”.
    Studio Luca Guadagnino also designed the Terrace SuiteThe remaining 25 rooms and suites were designed by architect Marianna Lubrano Lavadera, founder of MIA Home Design Gallery and designer Laura Feroldi.
    Each room features unique furniture pieces that were designed to blend classic and contemporary styles.
    Tropical foliage lines the inner courtyardStudiolucaguadagnino was founded in 2017. The studio previously created an interior design exhibition at the 2022 Milan design week to mark its public launch.
    Elsewhere in Rome, designer Patricia Urquiola has transformed a palazzo into the Six Senses hotel and American entrepreneur Ian Schrager has converted a bank into The Rome Edition.

    White-washed Mondrian Ibiza hotel perches above Cala Llonga bay

    Spanish studios Beades Architects and Cuarto Interior have revived a 1970s hotel property overlooking a bay in Ibiza, using local materials and mid-century furniture to transform its interiors.

    The Mondrian Ibiza is perched on a steep hillside above the beach and turquoise waters of Cala Llonga, on the Balearic Island’s east coast.
    Sculptural furniture forms lounge areas in the Mondrian Ibiza lobby”The building was initially constructed as the first purpose-built hotel in the region in response to the growing number of bohemian tourists on the island,” said the hotel team.
    “Despite the launch of super clubs in many central hotspots, Cala Llonga, with its lush greenery, remained an oasis of slow living and authentic island life.”
    Tonal decor is used throughout the hotel’s communal areasFirst built in 1972, the whitewashed structure steps back as it rises, creating spacious balconies for the front south-facing rooms.

    The Mondrian group collaborated with Beades Architects and Cuarto Interior to reimagine the 154-room resort, which has an unusual layout that operators Ennismore had to rethink.
    In the guest rooms, textured plaster walls provide a backdrop for woven leather headboards”Opposite to most guest journeys that are about getting you up to the roof, for this property you arrive on the higher level and gradually make your way down through the spaces to end up four floors lower on the beach,” Ennismore’s global VP of design Mark Eacott told Dezeen.
    Arrival at the hotel brings guests into a whitewashed reception area on the fourth floor that’s “inspired by the area’s natural caves”.
    Mid-century-style furniture is used in the bedroomsA gallery of contemporary art pieces and ceramics gently slopes down to a niche enveloped in indigo blue, which forms the check-in area.
    A variety of mid-century-style furniture pieces forms lounge areas, while a giant patterned rug leads to the main Sun & Moon bar framed by four chunky rounded columns.
    Sliding windows are angled to face the best viewsApproachable from all sides, the bar counter front is carved with reliefs and inset with circular lights designed to emulate the silver bracelets sold at the island’s markets.
    Guest rooms on the upper levels are arranged either side of a long corridor, and oriented at an angle so that their sliding windows face the best views and balconies don’t overlook the neighbours.
    Guest room balconies offer private spaces to relax outdoorsIn the guest rooms, the decor continues the Mondrian’s neutral scheme while incorporating accents like woven leather headboards and textured linen curtains.
    Slatted wood cabinets are designed to evoke the fisherman’s dry docks found on the coves and beaches across the island.
    The white-washed building stands in contrast to the verdant surrounding hillsMondrian Ibiza is connected to a sister property, Hyde Ibiza, and shares several common facilities across the lower terraces.
    These include a swimming pool, bar and lounge area, while another pool is reserved for Mondrian guests – both surrounded by cabana beds.

    The Standard designs island hotel to reference “golden age of Ibiza”

    Between the two hotels, guests have access to seven restaurants and bars, including Mexican eatery Cuyo on the Hyde’s upper terrace, and a Japanese dining experience called Nico on the Mondrian’s third floor.
    For casual fare during the day, the poolside Bungalow bar and grill offers bites and cocktails in a tropical-themed space that spills outdoors.
    Mondrian Ibiza shares a main pool area with sister property Hyde IbizaArt placed throughout the hotel is curated by London-based collective Gone Rogue, and includes resin sculptures by Corine van Voorbergen in the lobby.
    “The hotel bears all the aesthetic hallmarks of a Mondrian, yet there is a softness, and an element of movement conveyed through structural curves, organic shapes and sculptural fluidity that speaks to the island,” Eacott said.
    The hotel occupies a renovated 1970s property that was one of the first in the areaIbiza offers a wealth of options for tourists looking for a relaxing getaway, as well as those arriving to enjoy the famed nightlife.
    In Ibiza town, the Montesol Experimental and The Standard hotels cater to a younger crowd, while countryside retreats like Aguamadera and Campo Atelier provide guests with a slower pace.

    Nicemakers renovates Swiss chalet interiors with mid-century modern furniture

    In the village of Adelboden in Switzerland, Amsterdam-based Nicemakers has transformed the interiors of The Brecon, a hundred-year-old chalet, into a secluded retreat.

    The intention for the 18-room chalet, called The Brecon, was for it to be “like a high-end version of your own home,” Nicemakers head of design Lottie Lorenzetti told Dezeen. The studio wanted the hotel rooms to feel like guest rooms in someone’s home.
    Rooms at The Brecon have been styled to feel like guests are staying in “a home away from home””We set out from the very beginning with the intention of not creating another clean, minimal, Swiss hotel aesthetic,” Lorenzetti added.
    The client, hotel operator Grant Maunder, wanted to create “a hideaway which feels like a dream home”.
    Across the common spaces, 18 rooms and four suites of the boutique hotel, Nicemakers worked with Maunder to fulfil the brief by creating a series of intimate and characterful interiors with a domestic feel.

    On entry through a bespoke wooden revolving door, the open-plan lounge space progresses into dining and living areas, featuring a sofa tucked away in a secluded nook.
    A two-seater sofa is tucked in a dimly lit nook off the main living areaThe interiors throughout are decorated with wooden panelling and integrated bookshelves, free-standing lamps and mismatched mid-century modern furniture.
    Mantel pieces and coffee tables display a collection of objects, candles and incense holders, statement one-off ashtrays and magazines that were chosen to add to the domestic feel.
    Nicemakers worked with Amsterdam’s Bisou Gallery to select relevant and personal artworks for the walls of The Brecon.
    Coffee tables are filled with homely items like boardgames, candles and matchesTimber, stone, leather and wool, in an earthy palette chosen to complement the hotel’s mountain surroundings, have been used throughout the interior scheme.
    On the ground floor, Nicemaker placed a few casual breakfast tables by an open kitchen to evoke the sense of being a guest in someone’s spacious home.
    The spa, which has a sauna, steam and treatment rooms, and the infinity pool on the terrace looking down the valley to the Engstligen waterfalls, were finished at the scale of a generous private residence, the studio said.
    A crazy-paving entrance space leads through to the open kitchenThe unusual concept for the retreat – in a small town with several more traditional hotels – was executed with a mid-century modern design approach.
    The resulting interiors contrast with the traditional chalet style found in Switzerland.
    Other unusual design details include the repeated use of crazy paving indoors; in the elevators and entranceway, on bedroom balconies and around the pool area.
    Unusual paving has been used around the hotel interiors and exteriors”The crazy paving was a hugely labour-intensive design element – it took a long time to lay and needed a skilled person who came from Wales to do this,” Lorenzetti said.
    Continuing the family affair, all the ceramic crockery was handmade in Wales by Andréa Anderson, who is married to the client Grant Maunder.
    The rooms do not feature mini bar fridges, but rather a variety of cabinetsOriginally Nicemakers had plans for bespoke mini bar cabinets, bedside tables and the same armchairs in each room.
    However, the studio concluded this would have gone against the hotel’s domestic concept.
    “You wouldn’t have a mini bar fridge in your own guest room at home,” explained Lorenzetti.

    Christian Louboutin and Madalena Caiado create “most extravagant and most traditional” hotel in Portugal

    This decision meant that – instead of using the same suite of bespoke elements throughout the hotel – individual items could be sourced and curated for each room.
    “[This] gave the rooms a much more collected, rather than manufactured, feel”, Lorenzetti said.
    An original fireplace was preserved in the new spa areaNicemakers’ design was also informed by some of the original elements from the 1950s and ’60s heyday of the building, which was originally built in 1914.
    Textured plaster, the original red mosaic tiles in the stairwell and the mottled glass all draw from the history of the site. A pre-existing fireplace in the spa was also preserved.
    Vintage and new items were sourced from all over Europe, especially vintage markets in Italy, the UK, the Netherlands and France.
    The palette of the scheme was chosen to reflect the natural surroundingsThe mix of patterns and details was intentional.
    “[We wanted] to imitate a collected mix of items, to steer away from the classic minimal and clean, expected, Swiss aesthetic”, Lorenzetti concluded.
    Other projects in Switzerland recently featured in Dezeen include a 1960s chalet in Zinal renovated by Giona Bierens de Haan Architectures and an extension to a school in Aeschi by Haller Gut Architekten.
