Accommodation can be considered as a simple formality or as an experience we like to enjoy, at the same level than our travel.
After a previous survey, it’s obvious that price is an essential element; and the number of organizations which do not offer only luxury, but which got onto a sumptuousness concept as synonym of exclusive specialty, design and originality to differentiate itself from competitors, increase.
Morgans Hotel has been one of the first to differentiate itself as a “Boutique-Hotel”. It’s a concept which is characterized by design and aims customers feeling home. The first of these hotels (1984) was born on the 5th Avenue in New York, a perfect place to launch a new tendency which grew worldwide, and in several cases, with the help of “butterfingers” designers group of Philippe Stark.

Currently, this group owns several hotels in different places, such as Mondrian in Los Angeles, The shore club in Miami, St Martins Lane in London.

What do you think about it? Will you afford it sometimes??
