One designer is based on the east coast, in New York City, while the other two designers are on the west coast, in Los Angeles. All three are at the top of their field, and tastemakers with A-list clientele. Their names: Kelly Wearstler, Jonathan Adler and Martyn Lawrence Bullard.
Known for her talent for combining opposites, such as contemporary and classic, masculine and feminine, or raw and refined, Kelly Wearstler knows how to give life to dream interiors that tell unexpected visual stories as exemplified by the Austin Proper Hotel.
At the helm of his eponymous brand, Jonathan Adler has followed a philosophy of “luxe and liveable interiors that are seriously designed but don’t take themselves too seriously” at the Parker Palm Springs.
Constantly combing the world to discover new cultures and destinations, meet new people and visit museums, markets and shops, Martyn Lawrence Bullard has channelled his adventurous and eclectic spirit to design The Prospect Hollywood.
Mixing and matching many elements for a daring yet balanced result is something that Kelly, Jonathan and Martyn all have in common. Each of them, however, stands out for their unique approach and style. Widely acclaimed, they epitomise contemporary American glamour, as revealed in this survey of their most recent hotel projects.
