This design philosophy can also be found in the Baur au Lac, one of the most traditional and prestigious hotels in Switzerland, which shines with timeless elegance in its newly designed brasserie. Nestled in its own park in the heart of Zurich, the 175-year-old luxury hotel embodies the highest standards of design and service. In collaboration with Martin Brudnizki, bespoke pieces were created that transform the hotel's brasserie and bar into an architectural jewel.

Crossroads Deep Blue
- THE MARK, New York City
The iconic The Mark, located on elegant Madison Avenue, is not only a luxurious retreat but also the vibrant meeting place of the fashion world. Every year, the hotel is transformed into a glamorous backdrop for the Pre-Met Gala Cocktail, where celebrities and designers come together to celebrate the anticipation of the legendary gala.
This is not without reason, as the legendary boutique hotel The Mark is a total work of art. Created by a star line-up of international artists and designers under the leadership of French designer Jacques Grange, it is impossible to imagine New York without the characteristic black and white stripe pattern. Ron Arad has designed a spiral chandelier, Vladimir Kagan a sophisticated sofa, Mattia Bonetti mirrors and furniture for the hotel lobby and Paul Matheim sofas and chairs.
Jaques Grange, der schon für Valentino und Yves Saint Laurent arbeitete, verbindet hier klassische Elemente mit kühnem Avantgarde Design. Ihm ist es gelungen, den Stil der Gründungszeit des Hotels durch Art Deco Zitate wieder aufleben zu lassen und neu und individuell zu interpretieren. Der Gast wird überrascht und gleichsam mit warmen Farben und European Old-Style Elementen willkommen geheißen. Style kennt keine Grenzen: Die Hotel–Mitarbeiter sind von Turnbull & Asser eingekleidet, bekannt für maßgeschneiderte Hemden und Anzüge unter anderem für Churchill, Prince Charles und James Bond.

The Cotton House Mustique has been given a fresh look by Parisian star designer Tristan Auer.

The historic rooms embody the epitome of elegant colonial style with scenic details and a touch of contemporary grandeur. The charming southern style of the island of Mustique and its reputation as the dream island of royals and rock stars is characterized by founder Colin Tennant, himself an old British aristocrat.

- GRAND HOTEL SON NET, Mallorca
The Grand Hotel Son Net, once a manor house, honors not only its own history but also its legendary homeland Mallorca with its elegant interior design. Each room and suite has been individually designed by interior designer Lorenzo Castillo to pay tribute to the island's rich cultural past. The design combines elegant design elements with influences ranging from the Crown of Aragon to the island's Roman origins.
The hotel is interspersed with ornate carpets that tell the story of Spanish carpet making from the Renaissance to the neoclassical era, including an opulent baroque carpet with flora and fauna motifs.
The lobby, inspired by the Gothic Belver Castle near Palma, transports guests back to the age of the Renaissance. The focus is on the solid stone floors and the vaulted ceiling, while the blue and green fabrics are reminiscent of the colors of lapis lazuli and manganese green. The suites feature exotic fabrics and furniture specially designed for Son Net and are decorated with paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Grand Suite Maria de Napoles, also known as the “Pineapple Suite”, mixes American influences with Mallorcan flair. Its exotic furnishings include a stunning chest of drawers lined with genuine mother-of-pearl.

Promenade Goutte D'Eau
- SO/ PARIS, Paris
The SO/ Paris, located at the Morland Mixité Capitale, combines historical architecture with modern design. In the former premises of the Paris Prefecture, RDAI has created a space that combines futuristic elegance with Parisian sophistication. Under the direction of Denis Montel, RDAI is internationally renowned for its harmonious combination of space, material and light. The studio has also created impressive designs for Hermès boutiques, masterfully combining traditional elegance with modern accents.
Upon entering the lobby, RDAI's signature is revealed: peacock patterns in the marble floor, tulip-shaped columns and golden-brown glass panels that visually open up the space into infinity. The terazzo foundations mark the highest point of the Seine and lend the lobby the aura of a futuristic temple.
The hotel rooms captivate with their simple style, in which the breathtaking view of Paris plays the leading role. Inspired by the colors of the city, they reflect nuances of the blue river and the zinc roofs, the brick red of the historic buildings and the warm yellow of the city lights. High-quality materials such as wood, marble and shimmering textiles create a harmonious atmosphere. The CODAGE spa also relies on natural materials and colors with terracotta mosaics and delicate wooden details that convey a sense of calm and elegance.

- THE LANESBOROUGH, London
Built on the former residence of Viscount Lanesborough, it is an important destination for lovers of the Regency style. As the last project before his death, star architect Alberto Pinto realized this London gem, in which you can see the excellent craftsmanship in every carving, every crystal chandelier and every sofa cover. The original works of art from the same period come from wealthy 18th century homes, acquired at auction. The Lanesborough has one of the largest collections of art outside of museums.
From the window of the opulent The Lanesborough, you have a view of Buckingham Palace. You couldn't be closer to the royal family and English tradition. Here, guests can sleep like the Queen. The absolute superlative is the Regency Suite, designed entirely in the style of the Jane Austen novels. The only thing missing here, between Hyde Park Piccadilly and Belgravia, is... Mr. Darcy.
