We channel a little luxe vacy vibe with our guestroom.  A haven of comfort and calm for our out of towners.  We have some top tips to make your overseas guests feel right at home, wifi password included.

Best In Class Bedding

We wholeheartedly believe the VIP of the room is the bed. Invest in a good bed, the best mattress, and divine bed linen.  Seriously, your guests will be beyond grateful. Keeping it soft and modern, we opted for this low-slung linen-esq fabric-covered bed.  The covering in a neutral hue gives us the opportunity to easily switch out bed linen when the mood strikes. No bed pillow menu here, but we do pop a couple of extra pillows in the closet for guests to choose from. Dreamy crisp percale sheets from Frette keep everyone fresh while the Area Bed Inc duvet cover adds texture and warmth with its subtle herringbone pattern.  

Pillows and a throw from Madda Studio make a casual case for natural materials made with their felted silk and merino wool, adding texture and interest to the bedding lineup.  We just adore the fringe detail….

En Suit Extras

The North Fork towels from Serena and Lily are best-in-class Turkish cotton with a splash of style with yarns of different hues woven together for a soft heathered look.

Flying the flag we share our understated and seriously sophisticated scents from Australian company Aesop.  A generous selection of scrubs, lotions, and potions to pamper our important people.  Aesop also offers some handy dandy travel-size options, perfect for an overnighter or two.

A stash of the “You’re Like Really Pretty” makeup removing wipes save our towels and a Dyson hairdryer and magnifying mirror help with prepping to perfection.

Timeless Furniture

The Porro dresser and matching side tables are a timeless classic.  Clean, simple lines in a neutral palette make these investment-worthy furniture editions stand the test of time. 

Low and comfortable and breaking up the linear elements of the room are the rounded lines of Porro’s Ghiaccio chair.  With its solid ash and upholstered seat, it makes this the perfect place to perch, or a handy place to stash your handbag.

Suspended pendants free up bedside table space for welcoming extras like flowers and a book. The opal-blown glass casts the softest glow and bedside switching and dimming make this make late-night reading a cinch.

Jetlagged friends appreciate our black-out blinds for a good night’s sleep. We even spritz the pillows pre-arrival with the divine scent of Sweet Dreams Darling from Happy Spritz.  A relaxing blend of lavender & chamomile essential oil.  Just the ticket for a great night’s sleep.

Go the extra mile with those thoughtful touches or borrow these Gatheraus favs;

  • Pop an ipad in the room for late night Netflix surfing, wifi password included

  • Add a bowl with international plug adapters just in case…

  • Place a luggage rack, no bending down required

  • Not sexy but necessary, a laundry hamper and give it handles for carrying
