DESIGNW Hotel bar to bring the outside in – June 18, 2009 Thursday – HOTELS

by Chef Brad

When the lobby bar at the W Hotel and Residences opens this fall, the space – called the Living Room – will take its cues not from the architecture of other hotel lobby bars, but from the nearby Public Gardens and Boston Common.

“We brought a number of ideas that connected the hotel to Boston,” says Paul Bentel of Bentel & Bentel Architects and Planners, the firm that’s designing the interiors of the new hotel. “One of those, the idea of a garden, morphed into virtual garden. We essentially tried to take the spirit of the garden as a fresh, lively, livable environment and translate that in a contemporary way.”
