Tcherassi Hotel + Spa











Found through a Design Bureau feature on the Tcherassi Hotel + Spa in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia - developed by designer Silvia Tcherassi.

Besides the roses in tall vases that make me think of Beauty and the Beast - Overall, what stands out about this property is Tcherassi's continual use of what I can't help but calling "crusty", rustic architectural details in conjunction with clean, sleek features.

design element to remember: stone and grass checkerboard patio surrounding the pool


A few pieces from her Pret-A-Porter and accessories collection...

I find that I am drawn to ideas. Whether they are brilliant, simple, or aesthetically beautiful (to my eyes), they tend to be other people’s ideas. I have much respect for people who have the vulnerability to bring their ideas to life. My first internal reaction is often envy, but then it becomes gratitude – and gratefulness for a creator that enables people to bring to life the ideas that He gives them. Occasionally though, one of those ideas is my own. They don’t come often, but when they do, no matter how small or insignificant they may be, I am humbled and inspired. This is a place for me to exhibit those ideas, mostly others – sometimes my own.
