The Viceroy Miami : A Big Fat Disappointment

Monday


Don't let my smile fool you, lol. I just got back from a few days at the Viceroy and I was so disappointed! As far as design goes, the hotel is gorgeous, designed by none other than uber-talented Kelly Wearstler. Every detail was beautiful but unfortunately that's where it ended. First thing wrong with this place was the crowd – and to top it off annoying loud kids and families. Then there was the absurd $600 'incidental' fee which was automatically deducted – seriously, not even at the Four Seasons. The room service came in an hour and a half late, was cold and tasted awful – sent it back. Tried room service again but this time nothing on the menu was available. What? And last but not least, I arrive home to find that my card has been charged another $629 for the room when it was already pre-paid. I tried to take my cares away at the beautiful pool but oops!.. annoying jumping children everywheeere. So, if you ever thought to stay here because it appears young & chic? Don't. Stay at the Gansevoort or Soho House instead.

So what do you guys think?.. Should I send a letter of complaint to corporate and see what comes of it or should I just let it go and be satisfied that it was a beautifully designed hotel and not much else?

New York Architectural Digest Home Show - Part III

Wednesday


The Home Show featured some really beautiful pieces. The first few pics are from DVF's new home line. I completely fell in love with the gorgeous ocean blue silk coach below! And I won't even begin to get into The Paris Apartment below that...so many pretty things!

This last one is by a Portuguese company called Boca do Lobo. Their stuff is gorgeous and so detailed, the photos did no justice so I just added this one. Very unique, check them out.

New York Dining By Design Show - Part I

Monday


This past Saturday I attended DIFFA's annual AIDS benefit Dining by Design. The fundraiser brings together internationally celebrated designers and local talent to create extraordinary dining environments. The installations were jaw-dropping! There were so many stunning designs that I didn't even know what to do with myself, lol. This angel wings design blew me away (they used cabbage and asparagus in the centerpiece!) And F.I.T.'s my second favorite of course, have to support my old design school :-)
Which are your favorites??
