Most of us have a travel bucket list. We long to travel to faraway locales, and immerse ourselves in places that are different and exciting. We seek from our travels experiences that we don’t have at home. Travel has the power to let us escape. And where we stay can be as important as the destination. We look for inspiration even in our accommodations. And that is what inspired a new Series for 2017, “Adventures in Design.” Devoted entirely to the best hotel and restaurant designs from around the world, designed to make us never want to leave, and for a lucky few they don’t.
“The foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places”
–Italo Calvino
What better way to begin this exciting new Series than to share a destination that is on our “Bucket List,” Bar Palladio in Jaipur. A magical place ascending from an oasis of vivid blues. Since Bar Palladio opened in 2013 we have been utterly enchanted with this Italian restaurant and it’s jaw-dropping interior. Created by notable Fashion Designer, Marie-Anne Oudejans the bar is a skillful mix of Indian and European decorative traditions such as a stone carved bar, block printed upholstery with antiques from Louis XV mixed amongst mirrored salons.
Built in 1928 as a private residence and hunting lodge, it took Oudegan’s eight months to bring to life a bar that has the feeling of a Maharajah Palace, a place of magic, where Peacocks wander in a majestic garden of tented iron beds.
Hotel Palladio begins our Series devoted entirely to the best in Hotel design…and once you see the pictures there will be no further need for words, so read on for more inspiration!
