La Reserve - Ramatuelle

Jean-Michel Wilmotte, who contributed to the Richelieu isle in the Grand Louvre, designed this architectural master-piece in the hidden hills of Ramatuelle. Located on the edge of one of the highest cliffs in the area, it overlooks the Mediterranean Ocean.

The architecture and design is a constant feast for the eyes.

La Tour Rose - Lyon

Located Rue du Boeuf, in the heart of the Vieux Lyon (old town), La Tour Rose is the landmark of a true story. Dating from the XVI and XVII centuries it has accommodated Molière who played at the Tour a preview of his piece 'létourdi'.

Surrounding the Tuscan-like Tour are gardens, terraces, water fountains and balconies giving it a unique architectural value.

Hudson Hotel - NYC

So many memories here. Good, bad, but mostly good. The experience starts with a neon yellow/green escalator engulfing your body, and ascending you to a jungle-esque lobby. If its past 10pm the hotel will sound like a jungle (club situated opposite lobby). There are countless opportunities for tourists and locals. Definitely not your atypical-symmetrical-hallways resembling "the shining"- hotel. Myriad of possibilities contained here, and at large in the city it stands: NYC.

Sketch - London

A combination of glamour and eccentricity Sketch is situated off Regent St, Mayfair. Sketch is made up of a few bars and restaurants, one of which has a Michelin star, however the best part of Sketch is its quirky interior. Each room is unique, however the design is consistent; opulent, edgy and alluring. Amazing food and ambiance.
