DESIGN HOTELS? WELCOMES SIX NEW MEMBER HOTELS
Berlin, September 19, 2012 ??Design Hotels? has added six new member hotels to its community, bringing the total number of new properties to more than 25 this year. Whether located in the heart of a buzzing city like London, Paris, Buenos Aires and Istanbul or in the cradle of stunning landscapes on Portugal?s Northwestern coast of Caminha and the remote Swedish island of Gotland ? each of these properties absorbs you into the local scene. ?As the collection of Design Hotels? properties evolves each year, we look beyond their bricks and mortar to the actual experiences that they open up. Each hotel is colored with the passion of its owner, be it cuisine, art or regional wines. These facets add rich layers to the discovery of new and familiar places,? says Claus Sendlinger, CEO of Design Hotels?.?www.designhotels.com/
SLEEK CITY FARE
Designed by Conran + Partners, local contemporary art is the highlight at?South Place Hotel?in London where individually chosen pieces find pride of place in rooms and public spaces, including an annual prize designed to encourage graduates of London art schools. The focus on food and entertainment is evident in the three wine and dine options with an elegant seafood restaurant on the rooftop, classic British bites through the day and night, and a speakeasy vibe at the bar afterhours. Another champion of the arts is?Hotel de Nell?located in Paris? eclectic, artistic 9th arrondissement. The restored 19th century palace is an airy, minimalist haven by acclaimed architect Jean Michel Wilmotte. La R?galade, the hotel?s?bistro offers ?bistronomie?, a new food movement in French cuisine by one of the country?s leading chefs, Bruno Doucet.
In Buenos Aires,?Hotel Pulitzer?is a testament to contemporary style with steel-trimmed modular furniture, myriad mirrors and trompe l?oeils of latticed woods.?Located in the historic centre of the city, the 13th?floor Sky Bar is a high point of any guest?s stay.
