🏔️ Inside Sleeper 117: A new high-altitude hotel hideaway has landed in Adelboden, courtesy of self-proclaimed accidental hotelier Grant Maunder. Following his successful reinvention of a three-star hotel in the Swiss village back in 2011, Maunder has returned for a new venture, this time teaming up with Amsterdam-based design studio Nicemakers to transform a century-old chalet into The Brecon Adelboden, an 18-room retreat that eschews the clichés of traditional ski lodges, instead opting for homely interiors with Mid-Century moments.

🦌 Inside Sleeper 117: With Kimpton’s recent debut in Budapest came the unveiling of a mythology-inspired design scheme by Marcel Wanders, who delved deep into Hungary’s history to develop interiors inspired by its folklore.

🎓 Inside Sleeper 117: Visitors to Oxford from years gone-by may be familiar with the charm of Boswells, a much-loved department store that was long a pillar of the city’s high street. Following its closure in 2020, the site caught the eye of developers Reef Origin, who set about transforming it into a 101-key lifestyle hotel – aptly named The Store. The developer’s in-house design team UrbanR partnered with Isla James Interiors to bring the property into a new era, filling it with design details that allude to its past, including an open-plan lobby bar with large shopfront-style windows, and the original department store sign still taking pride of place on the hotel’s façade.
