The Design Hotels (www.DesignHotels.com) recently hosted a sit down dinner at Hook Restaurant in the heart of Georgetown. I had the honor of being an invitee to this wonderful event. For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Design Hotels, they are an exclusive collection (170) of one-of-a-kind hotels scattered across the globe. In order to earn the recognition of being a member of The Design Hotels, these hotels must pass very strict requirements. The Design Group receives many applications each year for the pristine recognition of being under The Design Group, but only a select few of chosen. The best way to describe this collection of hotels is to say they are fun, hip and modern. Although it’s not just the furnishings that are cool, it’s the whole concept and attitude.
I had the honor of meeting several hoteliers from around the globe. These included representatives from London, England (Covent Garden, Charlotte Street, The Pelham, Knightsbridge, Number Sixteen, The Soho and Haymarket Hotels), Paris, France (Murano and Kube Hotels), Dublin, Ireland (The Morgan), Barcelona, Spain (Hotel Omm, Claris Hotel, and Granados 83), Madrid, Spain (Hotel Urban), Stockholm, Sweden (Nordic Light Hotel), and Brussels, Belgium (The Dominican).
The Design event was a small and intimate affair allowing you the time to speak in depth with each hotelier. This was unique and reflected the ideology and attitude of this Group. I left feeling as though I had acquired new friends from across the globe. This was not your average meet and greet. And these are not your average hotels.
It would be safe to say, that this assortment of hotels is much more suited to adults whether it be couples, singles, a girls or guy getaway. My previous bookings at these properties have only received stellar reviews.
So, guys and gals when you’re ready to venture out to awesome destinations and experience the warmth of luxurious and sexy accommodations, give me a ring…..
I’ll be happy to assist.
