a new era

in design

I’M AMBIVALENT when it comes to the word “trend.” There’s a tendency in

hospitality design circles to throw the term around—hey, I’ve been guilty of

it—as a measure for where the industry is and where it is going Of course,

trends are ephemeral and, moreover, what’s trendy to one person might be

hotels There’s no doubt that the way guests use technology has affected

the direction of interior design—in both guestrooms and public spaces

Diehards of desks may be sad to know of their gradual demise Hey, I didn’t

say it—Glenn Pushelberg did!

His collaborator George Yabu talks about the communal movement

of hotels, wherein guests—who knew?—enjoy the company of strangers,

or at least the feeling that they aren’t alone It’s made hotel lobbies focal

points and led to innovation in food-and-beverage outlets

But best of all, hotels are well past the days of dull and insipid

Owners and operators are taking their cues from top designers, giving

them the freedom to turn their passion and ideas into reality I think Callin

Fortis of BigTime Design Studios said it most eloquently when he declared,

“After a decade of seemingly endless design copycats, we as an industry

have turned the corner, reinvigorating a creative and unique sensibility.”

These are exciting times!

It’s also an exciting time for HA+D We recently passed out honors at our second annual HA+D Awards for innovation, excellence and sustainability

in product and project designs The wonderful evening was held at the

Langham Place Hotel Hong Kong and attended

by more than 150 design industry professionals Check out page 48 for a pictorial spread of the night, and for a complete listing of winners, go to: www.hotelmanagement.net/2011awards Another thing we are excited about at HA+D is technology — ours We recognize that people today—particularly hotel owners, operators and designers—are constantly on the move and need their technology to be mobile Keeping that in mind, we recently launched our own app (that’s the icon for it, below), available for iOS and Android phones and tablets You can peruse past issues and even download copies of the magazine It’s inspiration on the go! Kind of trendy, huh?

Carlson rezidor Hotel Group has

brought its upmarket, decidedly funky radisson

Blu concept stateside with the opening of the

radisson Blu aqua Hotel Chicago, amid the

more buttoned-down hotels it calls its neighbors

above comprise rent al apartments and

condominiums) looks like it jumped from the

provides [guests] with ample views in a dense urban fabric—rather than

a single, formal gesture,” says Jeanne Gang, principal and founder of studio Gang architects, based in Chicago “We designed the curved balconies to give users a direct visual connection to Chicago landmarks

From each balcony you can see around the corners and through the gaps between surrounding skyscrapers.”

Indeed the hotel has a European flair, an import of the brand’s original

overseas DNA That is incorporated as much on the outside as on the inside

Jim Hamilton and Ross Hunter from Scottish interior design firm Graven

Images were brought on thanks to their intimate knowledge of the Blu brand

“Carlson came to us because of our lengthy experience with the Radisson

Blu brand,” says Hunter, the company’s founding director (They were first

commissioned to design the corner bar of the Radisson Blu in Glasgow.)

“The objective was for Radisson Blu to really make its mark with

its arrival in the U.S and to make Americans aware of the brand,” Hunter

says “As a European brand, the U.S debut did show certain European

influences, but at the same time this is a brand-new model for Radisson

Blu that is very different from its European products—it is Radisson Blu

reinvented Aqua is a modern, iconic building, and we wanted the interior

spaces to complement the architecture.”

Public spaces at the hotel were designed to encourage a sense of

camaraderie “We moved away from the typical hotel environment and

wanted the public spaces to feel socially inclusive,” says Hamilton, Graven

Images’ creative director “Everything interlinks and guests should feel that

they can move easily within the spaces We wanted the space to be the

opposite of sterile and intimidating.”

Much of Hamilton’s inspiration for the hotel’s interior design came from

the Windy City “The underlying current or narrative was based on my own

personal experience in Chicago,” Hamilton says “I spent a lot of time visiting

places of interest: architectural sights, restaurants and bars in order to really

get under the skin of the community An amazing cast-iron tree protector I

found influenced our internal street cast-iron rug and also the carpet pattern

in the ballroom The fantastic brick buildings influenced the brick piers in the

lobby, and the city lights viewed when driving in Chicago at night sparked the

idea for the cast glass bricks in the lobby street.”

Guestrooms come in two styles: Naturally Cool and Mansion House,

the latter typified by its distinct blue carpeting The Naturally Cool design is

personified by wood flooring

Food and beverage was one element that got tinkered with “Original

plans called for the restaurant and bar on the second floor, but we decided

to move them to the first floor, bringing the hub of activity to street level,”

Hamilton says “We wanted the hotel to be a really social space.”

While many elements created the final product of the hotel, Chicago

was always the guiding light “Chicago is a microcosm of a city and we

wanted that to reflect in the design,” Hamilton says “The views are

definitely an integral part, as they are quite spectacular and remind guests

at any given time where they are.”3

ritz-carlton, palm

beach’s club lounge

Palm Beach, Fl, is ushering in a sleeker, sexier look with a vintage touch

and, since The Ritz-carlton, Palm Beach is all about the new Palm Beach

lifestyle, the luxury resort has recently redone its entire club lounge to

complement the destination’s new identity

“most club lounges look like airport lounges,” says ayelet Rahav, vision creative director for The Ritz-carlton, Palm Beach “The plan was

to create a social club that has great food-and-beverage offerings and a

wonderful sense of style and place.”

To take on the challenge, the hotel tapped eric Villency, a young, eco-savvy designer who focuses on recycled materials “We wanted

to incorporate the story of the historical lore of Palm Beach, along

with Palm Beach vintage moments,” says Rahav case in point: The

hotel wanted to go with a mid-century-meets-modernity look, hence

the sputnik chandelier that hangs above the lounge The hotel worked

with Villency to develop the concept and design The club level is a

premium room category of the resort, and the goal was to shift the

marketing and positioning of the club to create a greater experience

for guests “This is not solely a place to eat, but a place to socialize,

mingle and indulge,” says Rahav

To achieve this, Villency removed the heavy drapes, oriental rugs, wall-to-wall carpeting and overstuffed chairs This made way for sleek hard

flooring, revealed windows (sans drapery) and new lighting “The project

was not a blank slate,” says Villency “There were physical parameters that

dictated the dimensions of the space In addition, a minimum number of

seats, and space utilization had to be incorporated into the design along with serving requirements.”

Villency designed custom furnishing that added a glamorous, “green” ambience, accented with new pillows, vintage artwork and a custom-made tufted bar “It is my intention to recreate

a club lounge that is an alluring space to linger and relax, with playful and surprising elements, capturing the mid-century style, elegance and design,” says Villency

The color scheme was selected to reflect the Palm Beach lifestyle: light aqua blue and kelly green, with yellows, browns and tans During the day the atmosphere is more playful, highlighted with silvers and pale blues, while the evening ambience has a palette of gold, amber and cream

Villency’s custom-designed furniture is made of sustainable materials like soy foam, rather than petroleum-based foam, and recycled steel The wood is reclaimed from the cape Fear River in North carolina, where centuries ago logs fell off logging barges and are now being salvaged

One of the most unique elements of the new space is the custom wallpaper created

by a collaboration between Villency and textile designer Wook Kim The wallcoverings play into Palm Beach’s past, showcasing both palm trees and monkeys “The wallpaper is a favorite among the team,” says Rahav “It has humor and I believe that on a vacation you should have some fun, but in a sophisticated way.” 3

Design trenDs come and go like fashion: hip and cool one moment is passé the next Designing for hotels follows the same flow What is all the rage one instant loses its luster the next it’s also tough for hotel designers, who, when designing for a new-build hotel, won’t see their creation come

to fruition for upwards of two years in some cases, and by that time, a trend might have passed Moreover, hotels exist for long periods of time but are relentlessly subject to the whimsy of guest tastes in short: Designing hotels is no easy business

HA+D caught up with some of the top designers in the industry to get their opinions on where hotel trends are now and where they are headed

And who better to approach than two of the top designers going in the industry right now: george Yabu and glenn Pushelberg of new York-based design firm Yabu Pushelberg Fresh off the opening of the st regis Bal Harbour and Public Chicago, two hotels the duo designed, Yabu and Pushelberg say it’s imperative to stay abreast of change “You have to understand what customers are looking for that they are not already getting from their hotel experience,” says Pushelberg “the goal is to anticipate and have a feel of how people travel and what they need.” For example, Pushelberg notes that travelers “tend not to bring laptops while traveling anymore so the need of formal desks is diminishing.”

Top hotel designers give their spin on design trends for 2012.

Kathy Moran, a senior designer with based Flick Mars, behind such restorations as the

Dallas-Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans, is in accord

with Pushelberg “More people are working on

beds lessening the need for a traditional desk,” she

says “[It] means the need for more convenience

outlets at the headboard and nightstand.”

Pushelberg adds that people work from mobile devices and tablets and prefer to work

on comfortable sofas and chairs “We also graze

more rather than eat formal meals so the need

for formal dining furniture is not needed These

issues are important to consider and create

designs that look to the future.”

Pushelberg’s collaborator, Yabu, understands that hotels are now a part of the local fabric

As 2012 unfolds, designers have paid particular attention to Asia and its influences “We have found for the past several years that trends in Asia have been affecting global design trends and have continued to be a forefront for testing and implementing great design ideas,” says Rebecca Luong, a senior project designer with Gettys, who is currently working on a luxury resort development on Hainan Island in China “The power of ‘story’ has been a driver for our design work, and also a message we are hearing from both owners and operators They each want to create properties that resonate with guests in ways that have to be increasingly unique as the hotel industry continues to boom in Asia—and particularly in China The inspiration for our stories is drawing from cutting-edge trends in art, fashion, music, architecture—all of which overlap and inform each other.”

Holly Kappes, senior design manager for Innvision Design, says that competition amongst the overabundance of hotel brands is the real catalyst behind shifting trends “Every aspect of a property is designed, and sometimes even overdesigned, since the hotel brands are very competitive with brand identity and are therefore looking for the latest design innovation

to set themselves apart,” she says “Contemporary design has been prevalent for some time However, variations in architecture, climate, culture, location, ever-changing technology and guest expectations beg for

Trang 22

customization Design differentiation between the various hotel brands is becoming more blurred, as they are all continuously updating and upgrading their design standards in order to stay on top of market demands.”Conversions and renovations are also huge business for interior design firms Innvision and Kappes are currently working on a phased renovation of the Adam’s Mark hotel in Buffalo, NY, which over time had become outdated “As the last remaining Adam’s Mark, it was not restricted

to brand design guidelines,” Kappes says “Consequently, the owner took

a leap of faith with our bold design in their lobby atrium.” The new atrium area is open to the front hotel entry with a four-story-high architectural glass window wall “With recent progress in lighting technology, we updated the dimmer systems and incandescent lighting to LED and fluorescent for basic energy savings as well as to achieve additional drama,” Kappes adds.Other hotel companies are creating new niche-specific brands that call

on a brand-new set of design elements One of these is Even Hotels, the new wellness brand from InterContinental Hotels Group Greg Walton is vice president of RTKL Associates, the architecture firm behind the brand He says this new “fitness/healthy lifestyle” concept works well for the business traveler that “works out at home but when traveling falls off the wagon.”Walton believes that Even Hotels is just the beginning of a shift toward active and health-centric hotels He envisions hotels geared toward active lifestyles, including mountain bikers and kayakers

There’s no doubt that, if nothing else, hotel design is well past the days of staid and drab “It is a very exciting time for hotel design as a whole,” says Callin Fortis, founder of Miami-based BigTime Design Studios, whose work runs the gamut from nightclubs to hotel brands, including Crobar and Mondrian “After a decade of seemingly endless design copycats, we as

an industry have turned the corner, reinvigorating a creative and unique sensibility I think operators are looking for designers to create a more authentic experience, specifically in the public spaces.”

For example, the check-in experience was (still is at many hotels) indifferent at best—a long procession to a large impersonal desk area where you hand over your credit card in return for a keycard “The normal check-in area has been replaced by check-in desks that put the consumer and check-in experience at eye level, which is more personal,” Fortis says “The customer experience really begins the minute they pull up to the front door.”

“In an economic downturn people are seeking more value with more style and today we are experiencing a record number of refits that allow the designer significantly more latitude to create spaces that are focused

on creativity and less on traditional hotel programming We are seeing nonconformity become a new way to talk about the norm.”
