Gothic bohemian salon
Dimly lit salon spaces feature crimson velvet couches, dark wood paneling, and a working stone fireplace opening onto an outdoor garden patio.
“Travelers feel like insiders the moment they slip through the door, thanks to over-the-top service, celeb sightings, and a lobby design that recalls salon parties of bygone eras.”
