hotels, JK Capri & Michele Bonan

Remember all of the hotels we dreamt about last week...well all of those hotels have a common interest because they were designed by Michele Bonan who also happened to also design the JK Capri in Italy....which happens to be one my favorite hotels that has served as inspiration to me on more than one occasion as seen here. From the looks of a the sampling I gave last week I am sure you can see that whatever Michele gets his hands on turns to gold. I would love to stay at any one of the hotels he has had a hand in designing. I love all of those cute little chairs with the rings on the back that he uses more than not.

Anyway go here to see more Michele Bonan's work and go here to see more hotels that he has had a hand in decorating.

Now will somebody pls. go to stay at one of these fine hotels pls.?

Cipriani Ocean Resort (Miami)

Apparently we extended our stay in Italy. Were you nervous that we didn't have anywhere to stay yesterday? It was just so nice there in Italia that we couldn't quite leave but don't worry we will probably want to go back very soon. Well today we have some business in Miami (don't tell Will Smith..something about all no work all play okay..I'm going to Miami, welcome to Miami) and we are checking into the Cipriani Ocean Resort. It is so nice and clean that I think I could stay here for a long time. Just look how beautiful the room is.

NOTE: Does anybody notice that all almost all of the hotels showcased this week have the very same cool chairs with the rings on the back? Hmmm I seem to remember now that my one of my favorite all time hotels have the same chairs...that may be a clue.
