e d i t o r ’s welcome
hospitality’s get-up-and-go! By all accounts, it appears the business spring-back of the last few years in our hospitality patch has no intention whatsoever of letting up. It’s at full thrust, as a matter of fact—simply going and going and going—so much so we decided to officially nickname this little spring bunny the “GO” issue (vroom). And no joke here, March truly did require a ton of get-upand-go. We were so inundated by impossibly good submissions, from legions of designers, with an ocean of back and forth, it became an almost Herculean labor. I usually frame and develop the character of an issue using five or six stories as leads and checks. This beastie bunny asked for more than a dozen just in the front of the book alone! Yet, judging exclusively by the results, it was all damn worth it— and more! Our hospitality issue is the most accurate gauge and the clearest mirror of design for this incredibly successful category in our industry… and anywhere. So, where did we go? Well, everywhere! We took in the peaks at not one but two gorgeous getaways: a 40-room spa in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine (designed to feel protected from the outside) and a family ski chalet on the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Canada (designed to feel the outside when inside). We put our feet on solid ground in Orvieto, Italy, with the renovation of a historic palazzo that— influenced by the town’s duomo—is super-stripey and super-cool! And finally, we showcase an innovative global roundup of bars and restaurants that fed our design minds and bellies (yum yum)! Cheers to all the designers and architects driving this exciting segment forward, and remember, for all the go-go-go in the issue, you don’t actually need to go anywhere to be inspired…just turn the page! xoxo Cindy
