Step into History: Embark on a Grand Tour of Hotels that Have Shaped the Last Century Picture this: You're sipping tea in the same room where Ernest Hemingway celebrated the end of World War II. Or you're resting your head in the same hotel that F. Scott Fitzgerald immortalized in The Great Gatsby. Wouldn't you say these structures are more than just hotels? They're the guardians of our past, the bearers of our collective memories. In the spotlight first is The Ritz London. Opening its doors in 1906, it has watched two centuries turn from its prime Piccadilly location. With Louis XVI-style interiors and an untamed reputation for hospitality, The Ritz London is more than a hotel - it’s a cultural symbol of sophistication. Then, we journey to the East, immersing ourselves in the tranquility of Japan's Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan. Operating since 705 AD – yes, you read that right – it's a time capsule of elegant Japanese tradition that’s stayed intact for over 1300 years. Zooming back into the hustle and bustle of New York, we find The Plaza. From its birth in 1907, it's silently borne witness to the city's defining moments and has served as a sanctuary for the world's iconic figures. Our final stop? The Ritz Paris. It's where Coco Chanel called home for 30 years, and its signature blend of comfort, service, and artistic charm continue to define Parisian luxury today. These architectural marvels have breathed in history and exhaled survival. They've watched wars, weathered recessions, reinvented themselves amidst shifting trends, all while holding tight their authenticity. They've proven that true hospitality is an art - beyond service, it's about preserving a legacy, creating an unforgettable experience, and above all, showing that true class never fades. Stay tuned as we explore, learn, and get inspired from the tales these walls have to tell. What will they inspire you to create?

Jean-Michel Gathy: Acclaimed Hotel Designer (Aman , One&Only Resorts , Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts) Via The Hotel Journal is this informative interview with Jean-Michel Gathy, founder of Denniston & the creative designer behind some of the world’s most exclusive hotels. Here are several of my takeaways from this piece, especially as I am curious as to how a designer can craft & create without being formulaic & predictable. - “A hotel is a business venture, they want to make sure it looks good so they can use some of the elements of design for marketing & positioning in the market.” - How do you bring a sense of place into your design ? “That’s the way you visit the country. You visit the cultural part of it, the physical part of it, and you can see the way people live.” - “Nowadays hotels are lifestyle venues. You go & assimilate yourself to a hotel because you like the image they project.” - On Luxury: “We design exclusive places, places where you have a limited number of people who can utilize- Exclusive is probably the word instead of luxurious, but exclusivity is luxury. Our hotels are more exclusive, more specific, more targeted, and they have a very strong identity normally.” #jeanmichelgathy #denniston #hospitalitydesign #identity #exclusivity

🌸 The History of Flowers in Hotel Lobbies 🌸 Did you know that the tradition of using flowers in hotel lobbies dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries? As luxury hotels began to flourish, particularly in Europe and the United States, the inclusion of fresh flowers became a hallmark of elegance and hospitality. Hotels like The Ritz in Paris and The Savoy in London set the standard, incorporating grand floral displays to enhance the ambiance and create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. This practice quickly became synonymous with luxury and has continued to evolve, with florists and designers creating stunning arrangements that reflect the hotel's brand and aesthetic. Today, fresh flowers in hotel lobbies are more than just decoration—they symbolize the hotel's commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience, adding a touch of beauty and sophistication that guests have come to expect. #Hospitality #LuxuryHotels #FloralDesign #HotelIndustry #GuestExperience #Elegance
