Hotel Interior Design
Marrying her passion for interior design with her love for beautiful hotels, Simone strongly believes in the importance of thoughtfully designed interiors to help hotel guests feel comfortable and “at home”.
After nearly two decades of pursuing a successful career in the hotel sector around the world, working in design, boutique and seven-star luxury hotels, her knowledge of this aspect of interior design is unparalleled.
Curating a range of hotel styles in Switzerland, Europe, the Caribbean and beyond, Simone is uniquely positioned to assess hotel interiors with an expert eye of both a hotelier and an interior designer at the same time.
In this section, you will find articles that draw on her personal and professional experiences in the international luxury hotel sector. Her focus lies on materials, colour palettes, design concepts, and other unique characteristics. She’s particularly fond of hotels that have a story to tell, be it through their history or their design.
If you value a beautifully designed home, you surely also appreciate a hotel with discerning design. In Simone’s eyes, a beautiful hotel is half the holiday. Here you will find perfect examples of hotels that cherish the true value of interior design and that will make you want to pack your bags.
