London’s Brown’s Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel, recently debuted its newest signature suite, the Sir Paul Smith Suite, named for the British designer. The suite seeks to spark inspiration and creativity, as well as serve as a space for rest and relaxation through art and carefully curated furnishings.

“Being asked to design a space for such an iconic Mayfair institution is a great privilege – and I’ve had a great deal of fun in the process! Just like Browns does with its rooms, we design every Paul Smith shop differently to celebrate the area’s individuality, which is just one of the reasons the project appealed to me,” said Smith. “On a more personal level, I’m so pleased we’ve been able to include objects that inspire me personally and I hope, in turn, they’ll inspire the suite’s guests.”

Designed by Sir Paul Smith in collaboration with Olga Polizzi, director of design, Rocco Forte Hotels, the suite incorporates some of Smith’s notable collaborations, including pieces from his recent Everyday Life collection with Italian luxury furniture company DePadova. Unique details in the suite include banana door handles, striped fireplace tiles and a robot figurine made from a vintage camera.

The suite boasts limited-edition prints from photographer Julian Broad, an art wall featuring a variety of prints and original artwork, and a selection of soft furnishings. These furnishings include blankets and cushions from Smith’s homeware collection released in 2022. Guests also have the opportunity to purchase select pieces from the suite, including prints and custom details, via an in-suite catalog provided.

Althoff Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg Review

After a long drive from our previous destination, it was a relief to see Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg in our view. When we pulled into the hotel court, I felt like we were pulling up to a royal palace. Considering the hotel was originally built as a castle for Prince Elector Johann Wilhelm II of Duesseldorf and his wife, Maria-Luisa of the Medici family, my thought wasn’t that far off.
