The Populus Hotel, designed by Studio Gang
aspire design and home, in collaboration with Jill Carvajal of Front Row NYC, is proud to unveil the inaugural launch of Destinations by Design, a curated series celebrating the world’s most inspiring travel and hospitality experiences through the lens of design. Existing beyond a typical “best hotels” list, Destinations by Design showcases the properties, interiors and environments that shape how we live, move and connect — places where architecture, interiors and setting come together to create something unforgettable.
Sandbourne Santa Monica, designed by Gulla Jónsdóttir Architecture & Design
Built for a discerning community of travelers, tastemakers and design appreciators who see the world differently, we’re using this opportunity to highlight the thoughtful details: the interplay of light and materials, the way indoor and outdoor spaces flow, the way a lobby can become a stage for culture, or a suite can tell a story through art and craftsmanship. It’s about unique criteria that elevate travel into an adventure — an experience that resonates long after you leave.
As thought leaders in design, we take pride in looking beyond the obvious. Our lists will highlight the unexpected journeys, the visionary architects and designers behind them and the singular experiences that embody true creativity in hospitality.
