Viva Las Vegas Style!

I recently had the pleasure of going to Las Vegas with my friend and client, Dr. Lynn Dickens.  I have worked with Dr. Dickens over the past several years on her Allergy & Asthma Associates office at Town & Country and also their office in Katy, Texas.  I have also worked with her and several of her family members on personal residences.  Dr. Dickens is a compassionate and fascinating person, an avid traveler and art collector.  As a Vegas insider as well, she was a terrific travel companion to Sin…hmmm…Style City!

We stayed at the fabulous new Palazzo Hotel.  Everything was so luxurious, over scaled and elegant.  The best of Italian design was incorporated including coastal villas, the Tuscan countryside and the elegant cities of northern Italy.  From the palatial entrance to the up-to-minute chocolate brown, blue and cream-colored décor in the guest suites, the Palazzo was sophisticated luxury on the strip.  Even the scent of the hotel was amazing.  It was fresh and pretty, like a French perfume.  Our host there, Pauline Brunner, later told me it was called “seduction.”

And speaking of seduction, the guest suites really were lovely.  In addition to the popular color scheme mentioned above, there was a 70’s vibe in the modern floral design on the carpets and etched mirrors in the hallways.  The sunken living room with a built-in gold velvet sectional also cleverly featured a hideaway bed.  The bathrooms were opulent with marble and spa-quality toiletries.  I think I counted at least three flat-screen televisions in the room.  Even the sheer Roman shades and black-out lined draperies were on remote controls.

Not only was a trip to Vegas a great getaway, it is a great way to conclude our recent discussions of master bedrooms.  Adopting luxury hotel concepts like updated décor, sumptuous bed linens, a spa-like bathroom (more on this topic later!) and custom made draperies with black-out lining for room darkening effects, can turn your bedroom into a dreamy getaway that you can return to night after night.
