The new lounge and bar area at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, Salon, is looking a bit more like an exhibit space these days thanks to a permanent installation lled with products from 16 Spanish manufacturers. Conceived by Surface magazine, designed by New York-based designer Winka Dubbeldam of rm Archi-Tectonics, and supported by the Trade Commission of Spain and RED Association, Salon highlights and honors innovative Spanish design and promotes the heritage and culture of the country. Spanish Surrealist artists like Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and Caballero inspired the design of the 1,200-square-foot space. Dark shades of purple, gold, and green were set against low-sheen metals to create mood and drama for the nighttime. Products include furniture from BD Barcelona Design, Kendo, Koo International, Sancal, and Viccarbe; accessories by Delica, Inbani, and Lladró; textiles from Nanimarquina and Naturtex; lighting supplied by Arturo Alvarez, LZF Lamps, Marset, and Santa & Cole; and wallcoverings and dividers from Tres Tintas and ABR.

The Next Steps for Las Vegas

hollywood hideaway
When husband-and-wife duo Menachem and Georgiana Treivush came upon a cottage hidden inside an English Garden with a vefoot shower and arched doorways of the same height in the middle of West Hollywood, they knew they had stumbled onto something special. Their instincts were right: the charming cottage, and 13 others just like it, were once owned by none other than Charlie Chaplin. The duo, owners of multiple apparel companies including Ton Sur Ton and Modasport, have since transformed the cottages into the Charlie, a new 14-bungalow boutique hotel. The property’s buildings have been carefully and authentically restored by Treivush and a team of local artisans to look and feel like they did in 1924. Now adding hotelier to his list of accomplishments, a job he loves more than he would have guessed, Treivush is enjoying the Charlie’s exceptional reception among the elite (particularly celebrities as it’s a true Hollywood hideaway). “The de nition of hospitality is not known by many people in the hotel business,” he says. “I don’t give people what the books or the cards say, I give them what my heart says.”

Roman and Williams have rede ned cool in New York with their bespoke designs for the Ace and the Standard hotels, and now they are at it again with a yet-to-be-named hotel on 57th Street set to open in 2013. For the design of the 30-story, 250-room hotel from Ark Partners, it will be the signature style of Roman and Williams’ founders Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch: “Reminiscent of a bygone era in hospitality that is absolutely be tting its location on this iconic street,” they say. “Given this hotel’s location, it will have a much more reserved, ‘uptown’ feeling—a very glamorous interior within a very rigorous architectural shell.” Two “muscular shoulders” made of black brick will frame the façade, which will also feature lantern-inspired glazed black brick and metal windows. Inside, the spaces will be swathed in rich woods, a restrained earthy material palette, marble and tile detailing in bathrooms, and elements that nod to mid-century modern design.
