Wow Factor: Antique Meets Modern Chic
This hotel is simply beautiful. Small artisan details abound at each turn, such as wood carvings, paneled ceilings, alcoves containing Roman busts, and stained glass doors. The interior design fuses traditional and contemporary design elements perfectly, creating a stylish interior space inside a former 18th century church vestry. The fashionable interiors combine the best of classic Andalusian design, including decorative painted tilework and rooms surrounding a multi-story courtyard accented by a Moorish fountain. One of a kind antique furniture, restored with modern fabrics and bold accents, can be found throughout. The staff is friendly and helpful, and with only 25 rooms, the hotel has a cozy, boutique feel.
Verdict: Fabulous!
Moroccan design meets modern luxury at Sofitel Fes Palais Jamai. The hotel is filled with corridors accented by colorful stained glass windows and Moroccan lanterns that give off dancing patterns of light. French-inspired chandeliers showcase high artisan-crafted ceilings, and much of the furniture features carved gold accents and deep jewel tones. Abundant tile and woodwork fill the halls of this distinguished hotel, which used to be a palace, dating back to 1879.
Today I stumbled across these two great products: a cloud umbrella and an egg lamp. They were designed by Joon & Jung, a product design studio based in the Netherlands and run by two designers from South Korea.
UK designer Abigail Ahern’s world is full of vintage animal lamps and shimmery star cushions. Her furniture is funky, her lighting is very Alice in Wonderland, and I absolutely love her jumbo-headed vases! (pictured below)

Roku Nana (六 七, or six seven in Japanese) is a swanky new rooftop bar wedged between two buildings in Tokyo’s Roppongi district. Designed by Yasumichi Morita of Glamorous, there are no signs to help you find your way here, just the little clue six seven, which hints at the ward number in the bar’s address. The only way to find it is to know the actual address…and voilà! you’re sipping drinks on chandelier tables, perched on one tiny wedge of rooftop amongst the Tokyo skyline. Now that is glamorous.
