Design Hotels™ properties are Made by Originals. Whether designers or developers, CEOs or chefs, owners or operators, our originals are always outstanding personalities and extraordinary thinkers. They are the motors behind pioneering design and revolutionary hospitality. They are the instigators of new movements in how we travel and live today.
