We are very excited to share that The Surrey Hotel has catapulted to #5 out of 420 New York City hotels on TripAdvisor.com’s Popularity Index. It is also ranked #6 for business hotels in the Big Apple. The hotel re-opened in October at #164 after a $60 million gut renovation with interiors by Rottet Studio.

Surrey Hotel The Rottet Studio design team was commissioned to remodel the popular, upscale Surrey Hotel in New York’s posh Upper East Side. The hotel is subtle and sophisticated yet rich with intrigue and style. The guest salons are the definition of “Modern Luxury.” All of the furniture was designed by Rottet Studio for the guest rooms, a contemporary interpretation of period styles from the late 1920's to early 40's. At first glance, the lobby’s French Limestone walls and Tiger Beige limestone portals, white calacutta and gray bardiglio marble floors, elegant crown moldings and leaded glass ceiling appear straight out of the 1920’s. Upon further study, contemporary thought and detail is evident with elements such as a stone mosaic rug in a surrealistic, skewed Abusson pattern. The lobby lounge seating is contemporary, designed by Citterio - the only pieces in the hotel not designed by Rottet. Upholstered in natural silver gray mohair, they sit on a hand woven naturally dark gray wool rug with plush and loop detailing reminiscent of Renaissance lace reinterpreted in a contemporary style. The lobby bar was intentionally designed to appear to have come to the hotel in the 1930’s in the high era of Deco, but true to the style of the hotel. The bar is elegant yet warm and engaging, with seating areas inside the black box made of white shark skin material surrounded by warm beige suede tufted walls.

Rottet Studio is designing two new bungalows at The Beverly Hills Hotel offering the ultimate in luxury accommodations, the comfort and privacy of private residences and the service and attention to detail for which “the Pink Palace” is so widely renowned.The hotel’s new Bungalows will be designed to fit the Mediterranean character of the property, with tile roofs, intimate gardens and the famous pink stucco that gives the hotel its nickname.

There will be hardwood floors and luxurious rugs throughout, with hand-troweled plaster and vaulted ceilings to frame the scene. Expansive glass walls, oversized sliding glass doors and French doors will lead to each Bungalow’s private pool and outdoor courtyard, dining and living areas, letting in glorious California sunshine both open and closed.
