Lenny Kravitz to design rooms for SLS Hotel, Beverly Hills
Taking cue from fashion designers, now grammy-award winning musician Lenny Kravitz has turn his hand to hotel designing. It was reported that the singer-songwriter is working on rooms for the SLS Hotel at South Beach, set to open next year in Miami, Florida as a sister property to the luxury SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills, California. Kravitz, who runs a design studio called Kravitz Design Inc., has been given responsibility for putting together the decor of a bungalow and penthouse suite. But this is not a first time for Kravita, whose company’s previous work with the Delano Hotel in Miami, right across the street from where the SLS Hotel will be, saw the singer redesign the Florida Room bar and lounge.
The rest of the SLS Hotel, however, will be designed by Philippe Starck, a design icon who has lent his skills to several famous boutique properties. With a beachfront location, it will feature a Katsuya sushi restaurant, another restaurant by José Andrés called The Bazaar, a Hyde Lounge nightclub which extends onto the sand and a hairdressing salon. So, do you reckon there is a Kravitz Hotel in the making? Maybe one that comes with an in-room guitar, drums and keyboards like its multi-instrumentalist designer?
