Belmond La Residencia - Matthew Williamson’s designer suite

Construction of a designer’s suite

2018

While respecting the hotel’s current identity and philosophy, the designer injects his own design DNA, enhancing Suite 67 with his interior magic and incredible details. Each space of the unique one-bed suite has a unique atmosphere: No. 67 now feels like a private house within a hotel.

The details are immediately highlighted when entering the Suite through the cozy outdoor snug: the hand painted ceramic floor tiles by Balineum in the entrance nod to classic Mediterranean outdoor living and keep this new enclosure cool on long hot summer days. The garden offers beautifully peaceful mountain views and a Palm Springs vibe, harking back to the glamour of 1950s California. Inside (the suite consists of a spacious bedroom, an inviting bathroom and a luxurious living area) the carefully selected items from different regions and periods were combined to create a one-of-a-kind private haven.Hand-made ceramic lamps from Portugal with block printed shades add an intimate cozy ambience at night throughout the entire suite. John Derion’s botanical art framed in the lounge brings the outside in and celebrates the island’s array of flora and fauna. The designer’s striking wallpaper and upholstery fabric adornssome of the walls and pieces of furniture, complemented by bespoke international furnishing and locally sourced individual pieces from Mallorca, creating a careful balance of contemporary and vintage elements.
