What dreams may come
As Cinderella once said, ‘a dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast asleep.’ Unlike C. in her attic room, we find it nigh impossible to slumber serenely ‘lest we’re in a decidedly cushy sleep sitch. So put down Ambien and pull out your Amex, ‘cause it’s time to book a rezzie at soon-to-open Lorien Hotel & Spa. Masterminded by none other than modern architect marvel Vicente Wolf, this cool-as-a-cucumber boutique hotel combines luxe amenities (aromatherapy on delivery, three Robert Weidmaier restos, and a spa that uses only paraben-free products) with parent company Kimpton’s signature irreverence.
Classic American touches like copper roofs and warm brick walls are accented by mod furniture and crisp robin’s egg blue, grey and white décor.
Book a Terrace or Spa suite and indulge in 700+ square feet, claw foot tubs and rain showers. Want quirky extras or gala-worth gestures? No prob. From telescopes and sleeping bags for a night under the stars to private dance lessons or wine tastings for 30, your “Dream Phone,” or private concierge, is just a call away. Unwind with a crystal rock massage at the in-house spa, or go gourmand at BRABO, a contemporary twist on Belgian cusine that evokes Weidmaier’s other culinary creation, Brasserie Beck.
Soon, you’ll be begging for a return to sweet slumber … or a second stay at Lorien. Thankfully, you won’t need a magical glass slipper to stay there.
