After facing devastating tsunami damage, Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort sat silent for over a decade until it reopened its doors in July. The restoration of the 81-acre resort spanned seven years, an undertaking led by design firm NICOLEHOLLIS based in San Francisco.

Hollis and her team created a cohesive architectural and finish palette. The use of wire brushed oak wood floors, thatched roofs made of recycled materials, Douglas fir tongue and groove walls and ceilings, textural basalt flooring, and weathered cypress exteriors elicit a natural yet striking quality throughout the property.

C2C Designs worked closely with the team from NICOLEHOLLIS to custom produced the

Forbes Magazine has just announced their top choices for hotels in Florida’s Key West, with the Perry Hotel and Marina taking top spot for Off the Beaen Path Hotel. Separated from Key West by the narrow Cow Key Channel, Stock Island is the area’s last working waterfront and feels more industrial than the rest of Key West. The Perry Hotel and Marina, which opened in 2017, gives travelers unprecedented access to this slice of “old Key West” where longtime Keys families, fishermen and artists reside. There’s nothing old timey about the clean lined hotel with plenty of raw concrete, exposed steel and natural wood designed by JOHNSON NATHAN STROHE.

The much anticipated Barbie was released on July 21 and has since then grossed over 1 billion USD. We can well imagine that between movie press junkets and official engagements, Barbie will vacate her panopticon party palace for some much needed vacation, staying at some of the world’s most luxurious hotels and resorts where the hotel is the vacation. According to Forbes Magazine, Barbie is vacationing this summer at Rosewood Bermuda. Why?

Boasting 1,400 acres of coastal dry tropical forest, uncrowded beaches, and ultra-luxurious hotels, Peninsula Papagayo is Costa Rica’s most bougie playground, and for those seeking the pinnacle of pampering, Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo is its crown jewel.

The historic Lafayette Hotel & Swim Club in San Diego’s North Park neighborhood is now under the ownership of locally based hospitality group CH Projects . The two-acre Colonial-style property, which was built in 1946, has officially reopened following a $31 million restoration led by Brooklyn-based design firm Post Company. 

The revived hotel embodies a “feeling of nostalgia for the days when the property served as a hedonistic pleasure dome for Hollywood elite and their hangers on,” says Post Company partner Ruben Caldwell. “It’s a bit of our collective ode to the Grand Hotel. This is a space where unique whims are rewarded and you can scratch any itch.”

Readers of Travel + Leisure have ranked several Florida Key resorts among Florida’s top spot of 15 favorite resorts in its acclaimed “World’s Best Awards” survey for 2023.

Describing Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, featuring 30 suites housed inside 15 thatched-roof bungalows, Travel + Leisure stated, “It doesn’t get much more secluded in Florida than this adults-only haven, which sits on its own four-acre islet accessed only by seaplane or the resort’s private boat.” The resort “evokes the feel of a Caribbean hideaway” and its Dining Room restaurant “continues the barefoot luxury ethos.”

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay just opened after a major transformative renovation. Located in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay brings a world-class wellness resort and flagship sustainable sanctuary to Kauai’s North Shore.  What makes this property truly stand out is 1 Hotels’ sustainability DNA. Design firm NICOLEHOLLIS created a sense of place through materials, tones, and textures. Guest rooms are a study in neutrals—sand-hued walls, reclaimed teak ceilings and furniture with rope and reed accents. Potted plants live in woven baskets and stag ferns are mounted on the walls, dried grass skirts are hung like pieces of art, the bathroom walls are lined with lava stone, and the island’s seafaring history comes through in the most subtle of ways—sconces that almost resemble fishing nets, or a single conch shell displayed on a shelf. The design of the rest of the hotel follows a similar brief; lots of wood and neutrals. The effect is soothing.

The words sustainability and seasonality are thrown around a lot in the culinary space, but at 1 Hotel’s new signature restaurant, Terrene, these are two elements that are key to their guiding practices of zero-waste, eco-friendly practices, and farm-to-table ethos. Drawing inspiration from the Bay Area’s renowned legacy of culinary innovation, Terrene utilizes ingredients sourced within a 100-mile radius for many dishes and cocktails. Inspired by the locality of San Francisco, the menu is rooted in an abundance of local, fresh, organic, and sustainably-sourced ingredients. Custom seating produced by C2C Designs.

1 Hotel San Francisco, the new urban oasis, references the natural splendor of the Bay Area with a palette of earth tones, raw materials, and layered textures. Native greenery, exposed brick, warm terracotta accents, and rustic stone further reinforce the influence of nature alongside hand-loomed rugs and carpeting crafted from organic plant fibers and recyclable wool. Located on the Embarcadero across from San Francisco Bay, the property draws upon the rich history of the city through a sustainable design concept conceived by the in-house team at SH Hotels & Resorts and NICOLEHOLLIS . SH also partnered with Dawson Design Associates on the hotel’s 186 guestrooms and 14 suites.
