Guests feel the blend upon entrance. The foyer includes Bar D’Eau, an intimate area for socializing and drinking, as well as the spa entrance, highlighted by a woven mesh chandelier above a DiGuiseppe-designed gold marble fountain. “Throughout we used a neutral palette,” says DiGuiseppe, “and punched it up with bold colors and textures. We looked for unusual art objects—ancient urns and tapestries—to accessorize.” “The hotel spa is so often done as an afterthought,” says spa director Leigh Smith, who has worked extensively in the Middle East. “But the combination of new and old works so that you don’t feel any aspect is too obscure. And the attention to detail in the hammams is extraordinary.” These rooms—one for women, one for men—feature domed ceilings, with beautiful artist-designed mosaic tiles. (The hammam treatment features an exfoliating and cleansing ritual applied as the guest lies on a heated belly stone made from Calacatta marble.) All spa lighting is LED, according to DiGuiseppe, “and indirect wherever possible, especially in the treatment rooms.” A number of waterwalls also mask sounds in the corridors, adding to the complete serenity of the space. hd www.diguiseppe.com; www.trumpsohohotel.com
