Viceroy
One of my favorite interior designers is Ms. Kelly Wearstler. I discovered her in one of my book shopping haunts a couple of years ago and I was hooked. I really love her style and her fearlessness. I actually have all her books. I knew that she designed a small boutique hotel in Palm Springs so I wanted to take a look at it. The hotel is called the VICEROY, a really quaint resort hotel that has a lot of style power.
The hotel is actually 4 or 5 years old, but you can really feel the regency style that Ms. Kelly Wearstler pioneered and champions . I loved the strong colors and bold gestures. We asked if we could take a look a the rooms and the suites and thankfully, they had some rooms for viewing. I was surprised when I inquired about the prices, as the rooms start at $150 US. That’s like a room in Boracay! I just want to share with you my visit to VICEROY; it’s really an inspiring place to get ideas for future projects.
The VICEROY is located at 415 South Belardo Road, Palm Springs Ca. www.viceroypalmsprings.com
The entrance - bold yellow as you enter! I think it's the hotels signature color.
Special touches like this water dispenser with lemons make the VICEROY hotel really unique.
The front desk, The front desk officer has visited Manila and he shared with us how much fun Manila is, this made me smile.
Cedric and NIx had a drink at the long bar.
The small dining area of the hotel. I like how clean and simple it looks.
The pool area. Is it not so old world Hollywood?
So many interesting ideas abound.
This is the lobby area! Can you not just die! It's GORGEOUS!
I love how the landscaping is so very mid century!
The outdoor facade, the small dog details gave me a chuckle
The outdoor seating. I really want the mirror sculpture on the wall!
Another pool among the small villas.
The door of the rooms were this carmine/crimson color that is just so cheerful.
I fell in LOVE with this wall sculpture mirror! I WANT IT! LOL!
Bathroom shot of the rooms.
The bed! I just love an all-white bed!
One more shot of the lobby!
HUGS!
RAJO!
