Philip Treacy - G Hotel part II

And part II to the G Hotel in Ireland. The face of the

hotel actually looks very modern compared to some of

the classical elements on the inside.

The very mirrored and glam bar area.

Luscious sitting area. I really love the curved

and tufted velvet club chairs.

I love the wall of glass on the left

side with the hot pink hallways.

Here's the other side to that glass wall

with brilliant blues to the left.

Here's a peak at the Rivo restaurant within

the hotel. That's one humongous banquette!

Love the colors he used on the velvet

chairs in the restaurant. Gives a sense

of fantasy or whimsy.

Philip Treacy actually designed these round

chairs for Habitat which is one of the UK's

premier home furnishings and accessories

retailer.

Another look at that "oh so pink" room. I really love the

deap magenta color of the couches in the background.

It's surprising at how photo composition can totally

change the look of a room. This is actually the same

room with all of those shiny metallic light fixture

balls above. It looks very elegant here.

Now I wouldn't mind spending some time in front of

this fireplace. The shells are arranged so tastefully.

A look at one of their rooms by night.

Remember how I said each room has a huge shell on

the bed? Isn't that cool?! A Gigantic nautilus shell.

And Philip Treacy himself.

Philip Treacy's G Hotel - Sensational

Ok, I have so many photos I want to show
of this fabulous Spa hotel I don't even know
where to begin so sit down for a longer post
than usual. Get a load of that Lobby above
with all of the Lights!! This could be old
news already to some, but I still wanted
to share about this hotel with everyone.

Milliner to the rich and famous, Philip
Treacy designed and created this hotel
with Irish architecture and design group
Douglas Wallace. The results are absolutely
amazing.



What sparked this post was the current cover
of Luxury Spa Finder. I've never bought
this magazine before but the cover totally
hooked me in with it's bold design and colors.



Here is a more subdued photo
of the lobby during the day.



It looks pretty different in the evening
with candles and ambient lighting. I love
the juxtaposition of classical furniture
with modern lucite tables and lighting.
My kind of style!



If you notice in the photos above, there
are two starburst mirrors hanging on the
wall in of the sitting area in the lobby. I
thought this was such a cool photo taken
with the reflection of one of those mirrors
with all of the lights.



Look how they shine and sparkle!
How glam! Which by the way, the "G"
in G hotel stands for "Glamour."
How appropriate.



A larger view of that pink club room. What do you
say girls ~ isn't it the perfect girly hang out spot?
Philip Treacy designed this rug and had it hand
made in Connemara.



A photo inside E-Spa at the G hotel.
Aren't those two chairs in the Spa funky?



With all of the colors going wild, the rooms are
surprisngly but pleasantly neutral. I suppose that
being a spa destination, one might not want to be
staying in a hot pink room all night. If you look

closely, there is a huge shell in the middle of the

bed. All of his rooms have different shells on the

beds. I thought it was a neat detail.



G Hotel's penthouse suite which is named for Linda
Evangelista - the 80's supermodel who was the first
to wear a Treacy hat on the catwalk.



Ok, this color combo, lamp, and
Mirror are to die for!



This view is so neat with the different colors layered.
Look at the gorgeous floors with the vibrant wall colors!

So what do we all think of this spa destination? It's
definitely on my list if I ever have the $$ to do it . At
the very least, it's great eye candy and color inspiration.

And of course, I can't just leave it at one post...Stay

tuned for part II tomorrow.
