<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/sagauro_room2.jpeg" class="top"> As you can see from this room shot above, what makes <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Saguaro/local/542">The Saguaro Scottsdale</a> stand out from most other hotels is the abundance of eye-popping colors. And these happy hues aren't found just in the guest rooms but rather throughout the hotel's public spaces and even down by the pool area. The duo responsible for the colorful look is the design team of Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat of Stamberg Aferiat Architecture who used "12 vibrant tones found in native desert wildflowers" as the foundation for the color scheme. The colors also follow the light spectrum which then creates different perspectives of the hotel depending on the time of day. It's crazy scientific yo!While we recommended

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/1WanderRocket_8.jpg" class="top"> It's been in magazines and on design blogs aplenty, but the "Space" Suite at Singapore's <a href="http://www.designhotels.com/wanderlust">Wanderlust Hotel</a> is a space you've got to see with your own eyes to appreciate. Every duplex suite on the top floor of this 29-room hotel in the Little India neighborhood has been conceptualized by local design company fFurious; the "Space" suite is just one of the many looks, and by far the most popular. Maybe the allure comes from the mystery of outer space, or a youth spent sleeping under astronaut-covered sheets? Our guess: it's because the room is pitch-black with only a fiber optic ceiling of stars at nightgreat for a fantasy night of romance or if you're anticipating

Amsterdam: Former Conservatory-Turned-Duplex Suite Hotel is Music to Amsterdam's Ears

Heidi Atwal — 2012-01-03T14:35:02-05:00

The latest addition to Amsterdam's, ahem, smokin' hot hotel scene is The Conservatorium, recently opened near P.C. Hoofstraat, otherwise known as the city's version of Rodeo Drive. Our intrepid sources have been scouring for early reviews of the petite 129-room escape, but all we've learned about the hotel so far is that it's aiming to "[bring] back the essence" of the iconic 19th Century ex-music conservatory renovated to create the space (hence the name).

Miami Beach: We Take a Design Nerd Stroll Through The Delano

MsRebecca — 2011-08-31T12:30:01-05:00

Since it opened in 1994, the Delano Hotel has defined what it means to be a chic, South Beach boutique hotel.

Next year, its creative guru Philippe Starck will give the beach a new vision, with his work on SLS South Beach--mere steps away from the hotel that started it all. But can he top the ground-breaking work he produced for Ian Schrager at Delano?

After we took an 'ethos tour' with Delano GM Steven Hiblum, who pointed out the little quirks we'd missed on previous strolls through the lobby, and told us all about Starck's inspiration for his designs, we're not sure he can.
