25 hours of circus

For those of you who do know me....know that I have a quirky obsession with the circus, so when I read about this new hotel opening up in the latest Hospitality Design Magazine, I just had to share....

you're welcome:)

Located in Vienna and designed by Dreimeta/Armin Fischer.... This circus themed hotel that has forgone many of the cliches in place of modern chicness... with delicious bits of whimsy added in the details and wall murals....paired with modern and sometimes minimal furnishings, it creates a uniquely restful oasis that is not the slightest bit dull.  Although restraint is used we do get a bit of drama through some elegant details... like the red velvet curtains, blacked out ceilings, wood board wall finishes and funky props.

They liken the atmosphere of Vienna to a stage, spectacle or traveling show... indeed for those traveler's who are in touch with their inner gypsy this hotel would be the ideal respite.  They write to "expect a flamboyant and poetic living space" and indeed that is what you will find.

"We've created a casual hotel in which our guests can feel at ease- unless of course they're afraid of clowns or acrobats." - 25hours CEO Christoph Hoffman....it's good that they also have a sense of humor!

love the wired table lamp

minimal but playful

the wired dress form and furniture make me think of the high wire act

I'm wondering if the whip and hat come with the room?

a wonderful surprise as you travel through the corridor

three ring circus here!

theatrical without being over the top

again very theatrical without being overdone...
wondering what they use the rings for?

I like the way white is used here against the darker colors
to give  a little pizazz

something tells me the outfit is extra
