Not even Dylan Lauren's New York Candy Bar
(which claims to be the largest of its kind in the
world) could put this much eye candy on display!
But, as this year's Gold Key judges pointed out,
excellence in design isn't just about the publicfacing beauty of hospitality interiors. More and
more, design is crossing a line from conveying
brand DNA within a hotel's walls or convincing

visitors to linger (and spend up) in a restaurant to
being a transformative force in guests' lives and
the communities around the project.
That may sound "bleeding heart," but the briefs
for the winners and finalists featured in this issue
prove just how real that directive is. Buildings that
have been part of the fabric of their cities-from
warehouses to bowling alleys to facilities for those
in treatment for mental illnesses-have been
saved because hoteliers and designers found ways
to breathe new life into them. Neighborhoods
that were on the rough edge of gentrification have
gotten some aspirational polish (and often infrastructure) as hotels and restaurants attract attention from travelers and locals. Hotel companies
and designers are also moving to the forefront of
health consciousness, from air quality and ethically sourced materials to overall sustainability
and in-room workout space.
Hotel owners, operators and designers are also
agents of change at a more personal level. During
the Gold Key gala, Irina and Olga Sundukova,
the founders of this year's Designer of the Yearwinning firm, Sundukovy Sisters, talked about the
fact that design starts with people. In their view,
lobbies and restaurants should be places where
people don't just work; they should be places to
watch a film, listen to music, eat and maybe even
take a class. They also talked about the need to
keep playfulness in hotel spaces and encourage
guests to power down from a business-only
mindset-which is something that translates to
travelers from everywhere in the world.
