Rivertown Lodge

Posted on Wed, 13 Apr 2016 by midcenturyjo

Welcome to Wednesday. Welcome to hump day. Welcome to my mid week daydream. We’re packing our bags and heading to Hudson, New York, to the Rivertown Lodge, a boutique hotel housed, in of all things, an old movie theatre. It’s vintage modern meets über cool and it was designed by Brooklyn-based WORKSTEAD. We can sit by the fire in the lobby and chat over coffee or have a drink at the bar but that little nook with the over supply of pillows is mine. A couple for my head, a couple for my feet, one to grab to my belly to balance the book and several to throw at you if you try to steal any.

Morgan’s Pub

Posted on Fri, 25 Mar 2016 by midcenturyjo

It’s a very slow day in my part of the world with the promise of more of the same over the long weekend. My plans include lazing around the house, perhaps a book, perhaps a little work in the garden, maybe some old school record playing. And as much as I love my own home I wish I was kicking back in Morgan’s Pub, now a family home in Peckham, London and part of The Plum Guide.

Stout & Co

Posted on Thu, 18 Feb 2016 by midcenturyjo

Hotel style and the warmth and welcome of a small inn. High end Bed & Breakfast? You bet. Love the look. Love the small luxuries. It’s Stout & Co. Amsterdam built on the foundation of a former brewery with design by Puur Plus Ontwerpers. Virtual getaway anyone?

Breeze block at the Boro

Posted on Wed, 10 Feb 2016 by midcenturyjo

Part concrete brutalism, part metallic industrial, part Scandinavian modern and topped up with a healthy dose of breeze block love. I’m crushing on the contemporary hotel style of the Boro New York on Long Island. It’s a celebration of the simple “guts” of the building, elevating the cinder block from humble to hot.

Scorpios Mykonos

Posted on Mon, 18 Jan 2016 by midcenturyjo

I spent Friday daydreaming of a hotel in Paris. Today I’ve run away to Greece, to the island of Mykonos, to a beach club and restaurant that takes my breath away. Simplicity and beauty and luxury. A truly stunning location and a truly stunning complex. Scorpios Mykonos.
