The new house sprout from the house

Brera is the village of Milan’s über-elegant in a city, loved by the charm of the smallest city she houses in its galleries, boutiques and cobblestones. Recently opened at the edge of the neighborhood, a block away from the theaters Alla Scala, is Casa Brera. Classical companies of the rationalist building of the 1950s have benefited from high glossy, multicolour attention of Patricia Urquiola; 101 Rooms and 15 suites enjoy the lights of light and daytime space, with areas working in corners and bathrooms coated with rich pink and chestnut marble.

There are various bars and restaurants on its eight floors, including a soft Italian Japanese, Odachi, and a bar on the roof adjacent to a jewel of a pool.

Designing forward down

Melbourne, the capital of Australia’s extremely vibrant culture, has some fairy-tale independent service accommodations (cries in the United States, with its location on the side of the botanical gardens) and the big brand hotels (New Ritz-Carlton wins the straps his with level-64 SPAs). However, there is a historical and disturbing shortage of hotels that combine excellent service with the true character. This has changed with the arrival of Melbourne Place: The 191, 14-storey room building in the heart of the city’s central business circle was created by Kennedy Nolan, its concrete and steel facade making a stable statement.

Fit-Out reads as one who is that of contemporary Australian design: furniture is from Dowel Jones, Ross Didier and Jardan House design studios, among other things; Lighting of the strips is Volker Haug Studio’s courtesy. The service promises to be just as impressive, thanks to anyone the floor (hotel bar, Mr. Mills, is already full of hours after work). Signature 136sq m is the room to booked.

Southern Gothic chic with a twist

Hotel Bardo, the excellent flag of a new collection of American hotels that aims to bring the first city style to the second cities across the US, is turning all sorts of “southern hospitality” tropes into their heads. Its creators call them “urban clubs”, which in the case of Savannah property – both hectares of it – are correct. The hotel is partially set in an 1888 residence facing Forsyth Park (older city), and partly in a smart low -rise addition, whose apartments bypass a long pool and sex.

The rooms are chic pure third millennium, from low -low divas to oak rods; There is a bunch of rods and dining sites, both inside and outside, as well as a fitness pavilion. SPA, Saltgrass, softens its modest dimensions with decadent treatments (90-minute facial alchemist puts masks of mild thickness and 20 minutes of light LED therapy).

To live good life in laps

If you have found your way to laps, you are already on the right track: it is one of Lisbon’s most atmospheric neighborhoods, with an abundance of panoramic city and Vistave Tijo-River (its hill is one of the highest points of the city ). Tarabel with nine-rooms is the result of the restoration of such a residence, whose owner, the Swiss-French interior stylist Rose Fournier, uses his annoying appearance and the terraces garden to create a luxury-Guestthouse environment.

Marrakech Maison d’Hôtes of Fourakech, Riad Tarabel, is already very beloved among sellers; This second mail is a more feminine issue, with skirt beds, sculpted table linen, floral prints and fitted botanics. The garden room has what should be one of the best images for getting tea in the city. Come spring time, a late lunch near the pool, with jacarandas in full bloom, sounds just the ticket.
