Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista, Verona, Italy
Situated in Corrubbio, in the heart of the Valpolicella area and only 7 km from the centre of Verona, Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà offers a unique and evocative setting with all the characteristics of a classical Venetian-style Villa.
The large building, featuring a 15th century façade by Michele Sanmicheli, had been abandoned for some time before being carefully renovated..
The villa has now been the object of meticulous historical refurbishment, both in terms of the architecture and the paintings and décor. Restoration has been carried out on the central and most monumental part of the villa and also on the two towers, the church and the farm buildings. The extensive gardens offer an evocative setting, with fountains, a swimming pool and a health spa (Dominique and Henri Chenot Institute).
Inside, there is a large hall dominated by a Venetian chandelier and other rooms with elaborate ceiling decoration and murals. There are also three conference rooms, three dining areas where it is possible to enjoy exquisite cuisine (one of which is outdoors) and a large cellar for wine-tasting.
Complimentary transfert to Verona and Opera.
Hotel Du Petit Moulin, Paris, France
A 17th century building occupying the site of an old bakery, the Petit Moulin has been intricately restored to its former glory with the help of avant-garde French designer, Christian Lacroix.
The hotel captures a slice of "old Paris" with maze-like passageways and slightly twisted perspectives, while the decor of each of its 17 rooms is completely unique, portraying different aspects of the historic Marais district. This ranges from the rustic style to a bygone era adorned with Jouy linen and dedicated toile wallpaper to 1960s design classics with pop art and futuristic furnishings.
Bulgari Resort, Pecatu, Bali, Indonesia
Designed by architects Antonio Citterio and Partners, the 59-villa resort reflects a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Balinese design while conveying the distinctive Bulgari Italian style.
The hotel has been built and furnished using hand-cut volcanic stones, rich exotic woods and refined fabrics. Natural lava and palimanan stone are used for the garden and interior walls, refined bangkiray hardwood in the villas, natural green colored subakumi stone to clad outdoor showers, punge and swimming pools. A collection of exquisite Balinese antiques and exotic art pieces, including more than 90 examples, adorn the entire resort. Furniture and decorative details, such as stemware, flatware, ceramics and woven fabrics, have been designed and produced in Bali by a team of local artists and designers in collboration with Bulgari and Antonio Citterio and Partners.

yeah, heard of these designers' hotels before. It's interesting the hotels reflect the style of the label. Armani Hotel is sleek and minimalist. I am sure it is very nice, but can be a bit too serious. Versace is a bit too classical to my liking. I like Bulgari Bali. It's modern with a touch of local style and materials. I really like Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà that blends the old classic mansion with new finishing.
I also wonder, when will I have a chance to stay in one of these hotels...
LOL. No worries we shall set it as a target to at least stay in one of these hotels. I guess we have the same taste. Versace design are too over the top for me.
Even if I don't get a chance to stay in it but @ least go there and have a look and see the real thing then I'm content. LOL
