XII Century chic.

Staying in old places often pull out thoughts of ghosts, curses & mould...

BUT this 2,000 year old building promises nothing but chic relaxations.

If there was anything in the hotel

that was created to make it unforgettable,

it would have to be the moss garden.

I can't decide if I its fuzzy cute

orrrrrr hairy-ly disturbing

 

With 26 rooms alll designed differently, the experience

dripping in sweets.

This once upon a time little pastry shop

has turned into a full blown sugar haven.

High gloss white with reflective sea foam flooring.
The stark white interior only brings out the punches
of colour carefully littered throughout the salivating space.

After seeing Benji's Handgraft iPhone case

I finally decided to delve into the world of Handgraft

just to see what other goodies they might have in store.

“For three years we have produced almost every single hard graft product ourselves,
just two people, cutting, sewing and shipping,”

 -James & Monica

I love this Handgraft nonsense.
Its such a old world craftsmenship with the new world technology
nestled in its awesomely designed crevices.

 “Our brand name is an old and often used english term meaning real hard work,”

“when we started we knew it would take real honest hard graft to make it work, so here we are.”

the 'W'here in Paris.

91 Rooms

opened up for jet setters looking to reach Paris.

'W' Hotel has always been on the edge

of boutique hotels and its super chic self

opened up their Paris property just a couple of days ago.

Contrasting one of their most known locations
(Times Square, New York)

They decided to take over a historical building
from 1870 in Paris--- The Garnier Opera House.

As per usual, the eclectic mix of high design & modern technology

is never forgotten when looking at the designs for 'W'

 

Black White & Red.--classic.

 

P.S. The staircase reminds me 110% of the one in our hostel in Barcelona.
