Suite Dreams

Suite dreams are made of these…

Just as a good pair of shoes says a lot about a person's character, suites express the essence of a hotel. Each flagship hotel room tells its own inspiring tale of luxury. At Design Hotels™, this extravagant tale is told by the world's most talented designers, and represents the height of creative expression. Enjoy this tour of five exquisite suites that blur the line between sweet dreams and perfect reality.

The dynamics of London's artistic East End and the industrious City are fused together in the elegant suite of South Place Hotel. From the private pools of the otherworldly villa-suites at Casa de la Flora in Khao Lak, lose yourself in cosmic star-gazing. Steal away to Oslo, where THE THIEF presents its plunder of precious
works by modern artists against the backdrop of the Oslo Fjord. While others fight their way through traffic, enjoy the exclusive view of the Eiffel Tower from Hôtel Sezz Paris. Or step out of your snug mountain lair suite onto the snow-muffled rooftop terrace at Zhero – Ischgl/Kappl.
