Mr. and Mrs. Smith blog has recently conducted a survey on future travel trends and gave a run down of the emerging style trends observed in the hotel world. Here’s what we expect to see more of in 2009.
Members’ clubs, bars, and event spaces with rooms
More entertainment outlets will broaden their appeal by adding bedrooms. Soho House in New York and High Road House in London, already have bedrooms, and Shoreditch House is in the process of adding some. Nightclubs such as Dex are doing the same. We even know of one event space in central London that is yoking on some stylish boudoirs. We expect a lot more hotels to look like Tigerlily in Edinburgh.
The new Shabby-chic
Whiter-than-white minimalism is officially (and thankfully) dead – more hotels are going to follow the example of the new Rough Luxe in King’s Cross or Básico in Mexico and strip their interiors back to their roots and history, with exposed walls, distressed paintwork and industrial touches.
Emphasis on quality
As at Robert de Niro’s new The Greenwich Hotel in New York, more and more hoteliers will be taking an interest in the finer details of their food, furnishings and furniture, so that each item has a narrative behind it. More and more artisanal creations will be finding the way into hotel rooms.
Homeliness, clutter and colour
The Bowery Hotel leads the charge here. We’re seeing bolder colours, more cleverly designed interplay of textures and patterns and increasing juxtapositions of contemporary and vintage to give a hotel that characterful, lived-in feel of a quirky home.
